FB Review

Sometimes, I seem to forget to meet appointments, show up on time and generally be where I am supposed to be.  And by sometimes, I mean most of the time.  The Calendar application by 30 Boxes is perfect to help people like me stay organized.  It is a neat little application where one can add birthdays or important events and have it posted to their profile.  It can be fun to look at your friend’s calendars and find out what sort of events or parties are coming up.  If you forget someone’s birthday, you can go check out your friends’ calendars and find the correct date.  The calendar can be set up to send email notifications to yourself as a reminder when an event or birthday is happening.  Along the side of the calendar, you can see which of your friends have calendars and what was most recently added.  The calendar application is a neat concept, but I really wish you could do more with it, such as change the backgrounds or add more colors.  It’s a little bit bland and even boring.  It seems to be modeled after the Outlook event calendar, but you can do a lot more with that one.  As far as a Facebook application, it is okay since most people may also have a separate planner for day to day events.  It is fun though to see what is happening with your friends and to have the option to invite your friends to event you may have coming up.  As with any application, you can invite friends to view your calendar, a specific event, or an upcoming birthday.  It is a good tool to keep in further touch with your friends.  Combined with a mobile device like an iPhone, this application can really be a life saver.  You can receive alerts and reminders directly to your phone to make sure you are where you are supposed to be and on time.
