Trumba Goes Live
I’ve been remiss in my shameless Trumba blog postings only because work has been so intense over the past few months. However the hard work has paid off and we’ve finally released Trumba OneCalendar to the world. Our 60 Day free trial should give you adequate time to figure out if the service is for you, and I hope it is. Please give it a try and let me know what you think, I’m all ears and sit next to the people who can change things. Also, don’t forget that we really read the Feedback you send.
A few things to remember…our calendar synch with Outlook isn’t quite ready yet but when it is you’ll be impressed. So why am I not working late nights working on an iCal version if I’m such a Mac guy?? Well the wrists just won’t cut it, that’s why, but don’t think I don’t try. Also, we’re going to spend this summer improving the product immensely so keep coming back. Currently we push builds weekly with loads of fixes and improvements. Check our What’s New page for recent changes.
As a slight intro to why you might want to use Trumba here’s a description of how you might use our Add To My Calendar service outside of having a Trumba OneCalenar account. My example is a real one, adding a calendar appiontment for the new Star Wars movie. Here’s how it goes.
- Go To NW Source Cinerama Movie Times and look at the listings for today’s movies. Pick the movie you want to go see from the bottom of the page.
- Click the Add to my Calendar link.
- Follow the Add to my Calendar wizard steps and add the event to your calendar.
- When you get to the You’re Done page check the Send Reminders checkbox and hit Save Changes.
- Fill out the new account form and create yourself an Add to my Calendar account.
That’s it, you’ll get a reminder when you asked for it and will have the appointment on whatever calendar program you’re using.
Lastly, as always, here’s another shameless plug for my KEXP Events Calendar. I’m still keeping it up to date and hope you can use it to add events to your calendar.
