Contacts and Calendar in New Web

[jcsmilez]

For those that have had a chance to play around in the new web can you describe the calendar and contact features in more detail? I currently use Google calendar for my personal and business calendar and the database program bento for my contacts. I'm hoping that the new web will enable me to keep track of calendar and contacts from my ipad, but if not I may look into switching to Outlook so I can have everything in one place.

One of the training videos showed how you can list your personal events as well as work events on the calendar. Can you set up multiple "calendars" in this way so that you can easily single one ie. daughter's sporting events, Pampered chef shows, etc. Can you color code them?

Have you tried keeping track of contacts with the new system. How easy is it to record, categorize, and find information? With Bento I can include just about anything that I deem important - ie. where I met them, the date, wishlist, when to contact them next etc., and I have used any one of these categories to pull up and create a printable list of a selection of customers to call.

Thanks for your help!

The calender is in one place ,I have been playing with it a bit but thare are other things that I have been doing first. When you enter events , appotments , shows ect you can decide if you want them to be public for anyone to see or private only for you to see.
You would have to open it to see any notes it only give so munch to include .
You can color code it for business, family ect. .
Not everything is working right now , it changes as they fix stuff

I find it incredibly tedious to navigate.

I have been using outlook for my live mail account. Just this past week I discovered all the other things I can do with it and have started using for my calendar, tracking contacts and daily to do lists.

I do not yet have access the new web and calendar.

Thanks everyone for your input. I'm looking forward to having the chance to play around with it to see what will work best.
