Get Yourself Organised With Yahoo!
Incorporating: Yahoo! Calendar, Address Book, Briefcase, & Notebook

London, Thursday 4th January 2001 Yahoo!’s organiser products: Yahoo! Calendar, Address Book, Briefcase and Notepad, allow you to access valuable records, contacts and information whenever and wherever you want. Since it's online, it’s accessible from anywhere - you don’t need to download anything, which means you can check your information from any PC at work, home, school, or even a friend’s house. No more worrying about losing or leaving behind your paper based or electronic organiser.

Yahoo! Calendar is your own personalised online diary and to-do list. With daily, weekly and monthly views you can access your agenda and check your priorities whether you’re sat at your desk or on the move.

Daily Calendar Reminders allow you to have an email sent to you summarising the day's calendar events and items on your to-do list. When you have at least one event or to-do item in your calendar for the day, you will receiver an email at midnight (12:00 am) on that day. If you don't have any events or to-do items, you will not receive an email for that day.

Time Guides allow you to overlay your favourite events or schedules on top of your personal Yahoo! Calendar. With Time Guides, you can:

  • select categories and types of events that interest you,
  • compare event times and dates with your personal schedule,
  • automatically see updates and new events,
  • link to more information for each event.

Time Guides currently include the following categories:
Sport - Track your favorite sports teams from the Premier League, Cricket and more. Plus, link to Yahoo! Sport team pages, scores, and game summaries from your calendar.
Clubs - Keep up to date on group events by turning on Time Guides for your favourite Yahoo! Clubs.
Friends - Overlay other people's calendars on top of yours for quick reference or easy meeting scheduling. Publish your schedule of events in a Yahoo! Calendar and let others add it to their Time Guides.
Holidays - Include UK and religious holidays in your Yahoo! Calendar.

Yahoo! Address Book is a powerful online contact manager. Similar to a paper or desktop address book, it can also do many things they can't. Use it to store all your contact information about individuals and companies. In addition to being fully searchable, the Yahoo! Address Book lets you categorise you contacts into browseable categories. This makes it much easier to find a specific contact or view a subset of your records.

Finally, Yahoo! Address Book is a tool to communicate with and learn about your contacts. Click on their email address to send Yahoo! Mail or client email. Click on tools like maps and yellow pages to get information about their location or businesses in their city.

Yahoo! Address Book and the address book found in Yahoo! Mail use the same underlying contact information. Therefore, you can access all of your contact information from either through your Yahoo! Mail account or directly through Yahoo! Address Book.

The Yahoo! Mail address book gives you more advanced mailing functionality while Yahoo! Address Book gives you the ability to manage and categorize your contacts, plus the ability to easily send client email.

Just as Yahoo! will not license or sell information about our users, we also will not license or sell any of the information inside your Yahoo! Address Book.

Yahoo! Notepad is the site to go to if you need to write a short or long note to yourself regarding anything that you want. You no longer have to use your email to send yourself a reminder note or just a simple note. You can use Yahoo! Notepad and access your notes anywhere you are through the Internet.

Yahoo! Briefcase is a tool that allows you to store files online and then access them from anywhere. Think of it as an extra hard drive that you can use from any computer connected to the Internet. It's a tool for managing files from home, work, or any other location -- and it's a great way to share files with family, friends, and co-workers.

We give you 25MB worth of space for nothing, to get you started. That's enough room for plenty of files. There's no catch: You only have to be a registered Yahoo! user.
