I'm pleased to announce that Jive Software has acquired Jotlet. Jotlet has built some amazing calendar technology that we'll be incorporating into Clearspace in a future release. The two super-talented guys behind Jotlet are joining our team in Portland from Texas.
One key way Jotlet has innovated is by building a super-rich API that allows calendars to be easily embedded into any webpage. That's a big improvement over the Google Calendar approach, which requires an iFrame and doesn't offer a customizable UI. Over time we'll be applying similar concepts to all of the collaborative tools in Clearspace so that it's easy to bring the right social and collaborative features to wherever they're needed. Visit the Jotlet website for more details about their technology and to see it in action.
Matt,
I had a difficult time getting the API for our hosted enterprise version of Jotlet. I want our user community to be able to add events to the community calendar (at least that is what they are asking for). The jotlet site didn't help when I sent an email.
So far Google Calendar has been much easier. I added it and put an RSS feed next to it to provide a listing. I would like to manipulate it to see the calendar dates in the RSS widget but that doesn't look like an option.
I tried Jotlet first. Now I'm working Google. Any help on making Jotlet the answer?
