Social twist to calendar+todo list - http://www.socl.in/
A few good social features - still in very alpha stage, your comments are welcome.

I had to force myself to read through that text-pitch - under normal conditions I'd have closed the tab after the first 1-2 sentences. Partly because it's not well written and partly due to the fancy font that makes it hard to read.
Socl is the social calendar and to-do list. Your calendar events will be posted to your social world(only if you wish)
1. Socl is not the social calendar, it is a social calendar. I don't know why the "-ial" in social has a strikethrough. 2. You need a space between the end of "world" and the beginning of the parenthesis. 3. Socl is in its early stage - something like a pre-alpha. Wait, "something like" pre-alpha? I think you mean "pre-alpha", right? It would be much more succinct and better in every way to simply say, "Socl is in pre-alpha release" or, alternatively, "Socl is pre-alpha."
Also, do checkout http://supportbee.com (we are working on it right now so only beta signup)
Also, "sign-in or signin using..." is awkward. Finally, the drop-shadow and strike-through (soc-ia-l) is a bit much.
1. The font makes things hard to read. Have a clear font.
2. When I say "Next Wednesday" in the Event Time, it calculates the date for me, which is neat. But when you show the list of events, you show the date and not "Next Wednesday" -- which is the way I remember it.
3. An option for DD/MM/YYYY date format would help.
4. If I say "Next Wednesday", you'll assume "At around 12.00PM". I think you should just say "Next Wednesday", and show timing info only if the user has entered it explicitly
Of course, everyone wants to be a household name like flickr and all.
