Abstract
Methods, systems, and products are disclosed for acknowledging a reminder in a calendaring application. One such method stores a calendar entry corresponding to an event and a rule. The rule comprises a reminder of the event. The reminder is presented according to the rule, and an acknowledgement of the reminder is received. A message is then communicated in real-time to similarly acknowledge a pending reminder that corresponds to the same event in another instance of the calendaring application.
