Get ’em while they’re hot! Google has just released its very own calendar application. This has been in the rumour mill for a few months now, something that started when ever-observant bloggers noticed the use of a “calendar.google.com” domain. Well, we say it’s inevitable. A calendar application is just the logical step next to email, personalized search, and a feed reader.
We’re all busy people. Whether it’s work or play, school or family, every day is filled with stuff that takes time. Keeping track of schedules isn’t easy, and frankly we haven’t been too happy with the tools available. So we invite you to try Google Calendar — a tool that simplifies keeping track of events, special occasions, and appointments — whether they’re on your own agenda or on the calendars of contacts who opt to share their schedules with you.
Google calendar lets you publish your own public calendar, or selectively choose which events are available for public viewing or for your eyes only. You can also have group/team calendars, and each user can view an unlimited number of calendars in his own interface–including public calendars, friends’ calendars, and even any country’s public holiday calendar. What’s great is that Google Calendar publishes RSS feeds and can communicate with Apple iCal.
