Kiko (software)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kiko is a web-based calendar that aims to replicate the functionality of desktop software by using Ajax.

Kiko received its initial funding from Y Combinator and was founded by Emmett Shear and Justin Kan. Kiko's initial release in August 2005 placed it as the first Ajax calendar to be released, but it was very soon followed by several more, including 30 Boxes and Google Calendar. In March 2006 the Kiko team released a second, much improved, version.

On 16 August 2006, the Kiko team decided to put the site up for auction on eBay, starting at $49,999.99. The auction ended on 26 August and was won by a bid of $258,100.00. Ten days later, Tucows revealed that they were the high bidder^[1]. There were in total 111 bids placed by 9 bidders.
