Web Development and Technology Blog

When I started doing this blog, I wasn’t sure what I would write, but I certainly didn’t think I would be getting ideas about new, cool sites and software from my family, since most of them do what they can on the ‘Net, but not much more. However, another case in point of a cool, useful site that we have started using is Cozi.com.

I actually found the site from a review on some blog (I know it wasn’t TechCrunch, I looked) suggested by my RSS Reader, Rojo.com. It said it was a good shared calendar option for families that have lots to keep up with. Well, with Jacob working and Bri in marching band, I can never keep up with who is where. Luckily, Stacy does most all of this, but being the tech head I am, I thought if they could all put it in this calendar then I could see whenever, and wouldn’t have to ask 12 times a day.

Cozi has a few extra features, besides calendaring, like shopping list (which you can have texted to your phone – a cool feature), messaging and photo screensaver; but for me the calendar is the killer app. Even better because they have an Outlook plugin that allows me to sync me work calendar up with it, so if I have to be at a meeting, they can see.

It is free and even better, when I contacted them with questions, I got a response in 5 hours. I can’t get that kind of response time for most enterprise software that I am paying for. So if you have a family on the go, check out Cozi.com.
