[pcf05] Trumba breakout

Trumba is an online calendar strong at aggregating group calendars. It looks full featured. Subscription based. Integrates with existing calendering tools. In beta.

Jason Calacanis asks why this is different than Yahoo calendar. They say: No ads. It will cost under $50/year. The Seattle Times is using Trumba, e.g., when you use their movie schedule, but the focus is on end-user sales.

In their presentation, they make too many big claims about revolutionizing and democratizing parenting, communities, large organizations, etc. In my view: It'd be enough if it were a really great calendar. [Technorati tags: pcforum05 trumbo]

Trumba does display Google ads. The service is pretty slick but requires users to have at least half a brain. This may be a problem for the average Joe. The're gonna need a lot of Joes to make the model fly. Good luck.
