Microsoft Outlook is a personal manager program developed and marketed by Microsoft. It includes an email manager, contacts manager and calendar management software, which allows users to create reminders for meetings and anniversaries. Yahoo is a leading search engine and an email service provider that also allows users to create calendar entries. One of the many advantages of using the Yahoo calendar is that it allows its users portability. That is, the user can view and edit or create new calendar entries on the move from anywhere in the world as the calendar is stored in the Yahoo server and not on your local computer like the Outlook program.
