The Personal Productivity Show #013 (MP3 - 17MB - 47min)
This week my guest is Brian Dougherty, CEO of AIRENA, the company behind AIRSET. AirSet is a web-based application that lets you share calendars, contacts, and bookmarks with trusted individuals and groups. It synchs with Outlook and Palm desktop but can also be used as a stand-alone online application, so perhaps these guys might be an Outlook replacement. They’ve already built some pretty cool things into it (eg the ability to have multiple calendars separated by tabs inside a single application) and have some cool features yet to come (eg the ability to access the site via your mobile phone). People are saying some pretty complimentary things about it around the blogosphere, so if you haven’t already, listen to the show and then check Airset out.

Come on dude, admitt! You lied in this podcast. You do want to just bash Outlook.
;)
But seriously, great interview and great product (from what I have seen). It could be interesting for just even get me and my wife on the same page.

Now that Google has added a web calendar to their suite of applications, where does that leave AirSet? Google Calendar seems much faster, but does it compete with AirSet in terms of features? Is there any niche left that Google hasn’t swallowed?

Dave I think the web calendar space becomes a multi-horse race to see who can provide the most compelling set of features vs price and get the top three positions.
I’d love to see some kind of interop between them all though so we don’t end up in another round of platform wars.
Google still has lots of places it hasn’t played - podcasting for one. :-)

Good point about interoperability; my understanding is that we have some way to go yet before a solid standard for calendar info. emerges. It’s a wonder to me that such a standard has been so long in coming.
re: Google, Podcasting: may those two words never be uttered in the same sentence again. ;-)
