I don't think Google could come up with anything I'd like better at this point. Hats off to them for their excellent RSS support -- I've added 30Boxes to my Yahoo start page, NetVibes and a few others just to play around with it and it works beautifully. Now that they've enabled the SMS alerts, it's just perfect. After testing many of the web calendar apps, I swear by 30Boxes.

Having worked for Intellisync in the past I can safely say that most sync solutions are really bad. Intellisync had a good system for duplicate detection and conflict resolution but was let down by an outdated UI and hard to maintain code. I see that things really haven't got much better since then. I tried plaxo.com last week and spent 2 hours cleaning up the mess it created in my contacts list. What we need is a seemless 2 way sync of cals across various web services and PC based systems (Outlook, iCal, etc.) that is robust and recovers gracefully from network errors, etc. Two way syncing is not an easy task to acomplish.

I've been using it for a long time and I think it's a great Flash example. You guys also talked about the sync-online/offline problem and I thought I'd point out Adobe's Apollo project. It's part of the Flash platform and it aims to give Flash applications a way to take data offline and run on any platform that runs Flash. It's still in the very early stages, but the potential is huge. Hey Michael, great first podcast, and I’m glad Goowy got a mention.

I'd be curious how many "spam" message you have received from "us" and how we truly rank in the World Spam Ratings. The fact is--and I'll bet that you already know this--Plaxo is an extremely useful service with a hard-working, ethical team trying to address a real problem. Another fact is that the service has generated too many member emails in the past and we have done many things to address this. And, we are doing even more to educate our users and reduce unwanted member emails. While this may seem like a cop-out, the emails that you label as "spam" are sent by our members to people in their address books. The problem is that often people do not recognize the person that is sending a contact request email. It is extremely rare that these emails are truly spam. But, labelling us as "spammers" is unfair and probably does more damage than you realize. btw: Others who have made similiar comments change their minds after they actually see how the service works, rather than guess and pontificate.

As for online calendars, the best online calendaring service regarding functionality (for me) is the one at Planzo.com 30boxes has better style... but Planzo almost seems capable of stuff that you can do in Mozilla's Sunbird. (Though I can't tell for sure if there is some kind of validation service for ics files... since I remember not being able to import some files from one service to another). The bad thing about Planzo is that there has been some memory loss (I've input some data to some events and only changed one event, or something like that, and somehow the notes I had typed get erased...)

Mike, not sure where you are getting show ideas from, not sure you need many ideas :) the show today was superb! Time to dig out the ipod and load it up. I would like to hear a shout from you guys on how you decide whats hot and whats not. Everytime I turn around you’ve been dugg or are popping up in my delicious popular… you definitely know your stuff.

I’ve got lots of great ideas (dont we all) but will make sure the next one I try is “crunchworthy” (like bigcite.com apparently wasnt) Whats hot in the marketplace man?

They miss velocity and calendar sharing option.
