You keep a calendar in your home office. It may be a paper calendar or a digital one, like the calendar included with Microsoft Outlook. Having this type of calendar isn't the type of calendar you need if you're mobile though, if you travel often, or if you visit clients at their place of business. What you need is an online calendar.With an online calendar, you can access the data on it wherever you can access the Internet, and thus update it on the fly.
If you’re in need of an online calendar, and you use Hotmail, Live Mail, Live Toolbar, Live Contacts, or other Windows Live services, Windows Live Calendar may be the perfect calendar for you. With Windows Live Calendar, you can access your schedule from anywhere, provided you have access to an Internet connection. The calendar offers familiar calendar features including:
* The ability to access and view calendar data by the day, week, or month.
* Drag and drop functionality.
* The ability to share your calendar with friends.
* The ability to plan and share group events.
* Share as much or as little information as desired.
* View multiple calendars from a single interface.
