Yahoo Calendar can keep you on top of household and professional events and allow you to share appointments with others. This service deserves its standing as the most popular Web-based calendar, although it's increasingly facing competition in the form of dynamic services such as the Google Calendar beta.
The free Yahoo Calendar is as simple as signing in to your Yahoo account from any Web browser on any PC, just visit here. You can also access the calendar from within Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Messenger.
Yahoo Calendar offers a good, intuitive layout with well-organized grids and plenty of white space. You can pick from among 16 color combinations and four background photo themes. Yahoo offers more in the way of cuteness than its rivals; its holidays, weather, and horoscopes pop with bright graphics.
Drop-down tabs across the top of the page let you skip to and from the Calendar and your Yahoo Mail messages, Address Book, and Notepad. A left-hand pane offers a tiny monthly view, as well as links for quickly adding events and tasks and searching scheduled appointments. The central pane features the calendar, viewable by lists of events and tasks or by day, week, month, or year. A printable view comes in handy if you need to slip a printout of events into a pocket.
Yahoo Calendar lets you click a time in the day view or the Add link in other views to pop up the entry window and start typing an appointment, and its central pane offers a Quick Add Event box that accepts free-form text input before demanding the date and time. Microsoft Outlook allows you to click twice on a time to add an event. Google Calendar lets you add appointments faster by clicking once on a date, then immediately typing into a text balloon.
