More on Thing 13

Calendars:
There is a link to the Web's Best Calendars in Wired magazine (2/20/07). The link to Kiko doesn't work. It appears that Kiko was bought by TuCows (based on further searching), perhaps for that company's internal use?

Scrybe looks quite interesting with its calendar drag and drop features and types of integration and context and multiple time zone tracking and use as a personal organizer. However, it is no longer accepting beta users.

Backpack looks interesting too, though in a way it seems to be a personal type of wiki to me.

The PDF converter looks very cool.

The file type converter from Zamzar also looks useful, but it only has 128 bit SSL (secure converstion) with the non-free account options. Something to keep in mind in a pinch, however! Don't like all the ads on Zamzar though.

Regarding personal pages. Yes, I think I do want to have one...PageFlakes looks especially interesting since it doesn't have the amount of ads of Yahoo and I don't think that Yahoo keeps your info all that secure??? Will look at them some more before deciding!

BTW: the countdown widget on the 23 Things blog is not visible to me either.

Other apps: Mozy back up is something I am going to look into.
The 2007 guide to free software and webapps is also something to keep in mind.
