37 signals want’s a monopoly on my life. bastards.

I’m already paying $5 per month for backpack which i am completely adicted to. i already use it for lists and links and writeboards, and now they go and add a iCal friendly calendar for no extra cost.

i’m a sucker, but they’re competing with google on this one. I have an online calendar that I am fairly happy with. It seems what they can offer me is backpack intigration and a new level of simplicity - but is it too simple? google calendar can do a lot of nice things…

it comes on the heels of my own idea for a new web calendar system. i would like to see a calendar program stores your calendar locally and online. one program - potentially run within a browser. no more importing and exporting from master calendars and subscribed calendars in various applications with different interfaces and specs. why should i have to think about which calendar is more up-to-date and whether I’m online or off. that’s what computers are for. i simply want a calendar i can access from anywhere at any time without having to worry about it.
