The New Yahoo Calendar

In October 2008 Yahoo launched Yahoo Calendar Beta to the public.[4]

It featured a completely redesigned interface similar to the All-New Yahoo Mail. It also includes support for open standards, support for subscriptions to any iCalendar-based public calendar, Flickr integration, drag & drop functionality and Outlook auto-sync.[5]

It was released as a stable version in November 2010.[6]
