Microsoft has kicked up a notch the reminder options available to customers leveraging Windows Live Hotmail Calendar.
According to
Dick Craddock, Group Program Manager, Hotmail, the focus of the Hotmail Calendar update is on enhancing the way that reminders work.
Essentially, once customers take advantage of the new options now available to them, it will be extremely hard to miss any event. And after all, what else are calendars for?
Craddock made sure to provide a list designed to highlight all the enhancements introduced with the latest refresh of Windows Live Hotmail Calendar and available via the options page:
“• Set up multiple reminders for each event and send them to your email address, mobile phone, or even to Windows Live Messenger. You can even send reminders to multiple email addresses or phone numbers, to make absolutely sure you don’t miss the event!
• Set up different reminders for each one of your calendars. New events that you create on each calendar will get those reminders by default. (Don’t worry, you can still set different reminders for individual events.)
• Get notified when someone else updates an event or to-do on a shared calendar.”
While I’m sure that there are Hotmail users that never needed to use the Calendar app, I’m also certain that there are others who could not live without it.
Of course, as it is the case with Windows Live Hotmail, the Calendar service is available free of charge to customers worldwide, and according to Microsoft, there are quite a few users already leveraging it.
“Hotmail Calendar has more than 18 million customers creating more than 1 million events per month. We're happy to announce that we've just released an update to Hotmail Calendar that addresses the most common request we get: improving the way reminders work,” Craddock added.
