Pros and cons of using Yahoo! Calendar:

Pros:

1) By using an online calendar, I don't have to carry a planner around with me. This also means that I can't lose my planner.

2) Recurring reminders. I get e-mail reminders every year for people's birthdays and every month for bill payments. I can even remind myself of events that occur on the second Friday of every month (such as KCPC EM's large group).

3) Search functions. If I want to know when an event is, I can search my calendar and find out quickly.

4) There are lots of great options. For example, I could sync my Yahoo! calendar with my work's Outlook calendar for free or share my calendar with a friend.

Cons:

1) If I'm at a place where I don't have internet access, then I have to write down the task and later enter it into Yahoo calendar. But since I'm usually at work or home, this doesn't happen too often. If this were a major problem, I could sync Yahoo! calendar with a Palm Pilot (if I owned one).

2) Yahoo! calendar doesn't have the option to snooze a reminder. So if I want to put off something until later, then I have to update the reminder. This requires a few extra keystrokes, and is a very minor detail.

Of course, I'd be open to using Google calendar if it existed. But I'm pretty happy with Yahoo! calendar, so I would have to be overwhelmed in order to switch to Google.
