Kiko: Yet Another Ajaxian Calendar
Certain apps tend to jump out for Ajaxian writers. The online calendar is one of them, and Kiko has stepped up to the plate with their offering.
What’s better?
- Interface
- Click On Anything – Everything is interactive. Right click it, drag it – it all works the way you expect from a native application.
- Everything’s On One Page – Manage your groups, view your calendar, and create and tag your appointments all from one page.
- Be Soothed By Kiko’s Pleasant Colors – Pastels are good for the soul.
What’s coming (real soon)?
- API
- A powerful and flexible servlet API that allows third party developers to produce tools which enhance the value of your Kiko Calendar.
- Everything Kiko Calendar can do, your web service can do too. Mash-up to your hearts content.
Stuff we’re also working on
- Accessibility – SMS, Instant Messenger, PDA, offline and pure HTML versions
- Import and Export: iCal, whatever Outlook uses
- Buzzwords Compliance: AJAX, Web 2.0, Tagging, RSS

Looks like planzo.com has kiko.com beat. They’re developing new features daily it seems.
Check out mypimp.com instead. :) We’re still working on everything but our interface is already much more usable than planzo & kiko. I know there are some ajax things that need to be improved on our site, but I’d still love feedback from some ajax bloggers!
