By now, most salesforce.com Orgs have been upgraded to Winter ’13. This release has tons of new features. The full details are available at  http://www.salesforce.com/customer-resources/releases/.

Smallbizsalesforce.com is happy to see Shared Events finally unveiled! In the past, if an Event was scheduled, and it included several prospects, it was a troublesome process to add the Event to all the Contacts or Leads attending the Event. Summer ‘ 12 brought shared Tasks, in which this was fixed for Tasks, but Winter’13 finally brought us Shared Events.

Try it yourself – click on “New Event” on the Contact or Lead page, and then click on the name shown. The new window will open up, allowing you to relate the Event to as many Leads or Contacts as you wish. Very slick!
