Features

Calendar Sharing: Set up a calendar for your company softball team, and share it with the whole roster. (Your shortstop will never forget about practice again.) Or share with friends and family so you can view each other's schedules side by side.

Invitations: Create event invitations, send them to friends, and keep track of people's responses and comments, all in one place. Your friends can receive your invitation and post responses even if they don't use Google Calendar themselves.

Quick Add: Click anywhere on your calendar where an event belongs (or use the Quick Add link), and start typing. Google Calendar understands whole phrases like "Brunch with mom at Java Cafe 11am on Saturday," and will pop new events right into your agenda.

Gmail Integration: Add your friend's Super Bowl party to your calendar without ever leaving your Gmail inbox. Gmail now recognizes events mentioned in emails.

Search: Find the date of the Baxter family BBQ (you knew it was sometime this summer). Or, search public calendars to discover new events you're interested in and add them to your own calendar.

Mobile Access: Receive event reminders and notifications on your mobile phone.

Event Publishing: Share your organization's events with the world. Learn more with our Event Publisher Guide.

Etc. etc. etc.

Seriously, someday, not far from now, not a governement or secret service but Google will be the Big Brother we all fear.

This is all well and good, but until I can work on stuff offline+online, subscribe to iCal feeds and sync to my phone....

And why don't we have social networking groupware so people can see this kind of stuff:

Google will be the Big Brother we all fear.

this will be when some programmers will think it will be "fun" to make Google sentient.

What, they haven't added the North American Serenity Role-Playing Championships and Pewter-Crafting Fair to the list of events recognized yet?

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 13 April 2006 17:15 (twenty years ago)

Aww man, that was supposed to say NUDE Pewter-Crafting Fair.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 13 April 2006 17:17 (twenty years ago)

just for that you're not invited this year.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 13 April 2006 17:28 (twenty years ago)

I'm way into this. Right now I only have my stuff on Outlook, which is only at work. Should be great for band stuff too.

― Jordan (Jordan), Thursday, 13 April 2006 17:39 (twenty years ago)

I kid because (a) I love, and (b) I know how hard it must be not to be able to find a TSR onesie.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 13 April 2006 18:24 (twenty years ago)

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 13 April 2006 18:44 (twenty years ago)

it annoys me that Sunday is their 'start' of the week.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Thursday, 13 April 2006 18:49 (twenty years ago)

you can change that.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 13 April 2006 18:50 (twenty years ago)

it annoys me that they don't have the full event appear on mouseover.

― teeny (teeny), Thursday, 13 April 2006 18:51 (twenty years ago)

A calendar?

Google's takeover will be complete when they offer p0rn.

I have yet to discover anything that works better than my little (3"x3") datebook. Not like I live a super exciting event packed life, though.
