Kiko Now For Sale on eBay



   

Kiko, the online calendar I picked as my favorite Ajax application back in September 2005, is now for sale on eBay. The starting bid is $49,999.99, with no takers yet.

While Kiko’s functionality was solid (and improving, especially with recent releases), the team apparently wasn’t able to develop a viable business model to compete with the many other free alternatives (30Boxes, CalendarHub, Airset, and–oh yeah–Google Calendar).

I suggest keeping an eye on company founders Justin Kan and Emmet Shear–they’ve no doubt learned lessons here and will go on to bigger and better projects…

links from Technoratit used it much, but you can see my public tasks at http://voo2do.com/pub/jasonschool. Next I found Don Grossman’s blog A Venture Forth. His site has several interesting articles, two of which I found particulary usefull. The first was Kiko Now For Sale. I didn’t really care that another dot com was failing, but more that i have never heard of Kiko. Kiko is a calendar program that seems far suppior to what I am currently using, outlook and google. It has a great look and is very simple to use. What

If you look beyond the business model problems, from a development stand-point, Kiko was a disaster. I can’t belive someone actaully bought it for almost $250K. The code was far too fat for the feature set. It was simply a calendar and 300K of JavaScript is an unacceptable download for something so basic. In fact on my own blog, I discussed Kiko as a specific example of how not to use Ajax.

Calendars smalendars…there is no scale in small time apps. its time these hobbyist developers start integrating with the big boys and stop wasting there time by working on these little 2 bit apps that don’t produce any revenue.
