30 Boxes Online Calendar

For an exercise in the Web 2.0 new and interesting contributors, I chose 30 Boxes. 30 Boxes is an online calendar system that allows me to keep track of all important events (whether social or otherwise). I often use the calendars associated with Outlook or Hotmail to keep my schedule on track, but I like the layout of 30 boxes better. It is larger and instead of clicking on times and days to make an entry, I can type in a single entry box to enter my important dates. I can also add pictures and friends to the calendar system, so it's pretty much a social networking site wrapped up in a calendar. I can see this as a useful feature for library events. It would be fun to be able to add pictures to the days that an event takes place in order to provide a more interesting and attractive program layout.
