[edit] Features

Yahoo! Calendar has the following features:

• 100 year calendar
• various alarm features which allow you to send messages to numerous sources including:
  • email
  • mobile devices
  • Yahoo! Messenger
• the ability to sync your calendar with those of Palm devices and Microsoft Office Outlook and some SyncML enabled cellphones
• sharing of schedules between users. The mechanism allows several different methods of sharing including publicly sharing your calendar, sharing your calendar with a specific Yahoo! Group, and sharing your calendar with a particular Yahoo! user.
• automatically read, integrate, and republish public and personal events syndicated from Eventful, Upcoming, Evite, and other sites.

Events are stored online, so in the case of a user's hard drive failure, no data is lost. Calendar sharing is also available.

[edit] Future

Yahoo! Calendar is currently being re-designed to integrate with Yahoo! Mail Beta (the current version of Mail Beta offers no real integration with Calendar). Apart from some minor releases, the majority of the new version of Calendar is under wraps, and not much of it has been revealed.
