Projo.com launches searchable calendar

As we move closer to Wednesday's deadline for subscribing to the latest buyout at the Providence Journal, projo.com has launched a new searchable calendar, called projothebeat.com. The move seems an overdue no-brainer in this day and age.

Speaking of projo.com: although the Web site has won some awards, a number of staffers at the newspaper think site remains challenging to navigate, particularly when compared with the more streamlined format of the Boston Globe's boston.com.

And btw, the ProJo's Politics blog, which featured a heightened degree of posting after my story on the RI blogosphere, has gone back to offering an underwhelming number of updates.
