Google Calendar is here

Published on April 14, 2006 By BlueDev In Personal Computing

I found this thanks to my good friend Stanton.

He pointed out that Google Calendar is no up and running. My schedule is such that I don't use a calendar that much, but this looks like it has a lot of potential. I love being able to drag on the small map and have that date range show up automatically. The Quick Add feature is great as well.

Not too sure yet on the sharing idea, but I can see that a family could really take advantage of that. Pretty cool. Check it out and bow down to your Google masters. Your soul is next.

Meh, souls are overrated.

Very probably.....

They 'read' your email so they know the 'what'.

Now they also know the 'when'.

Eventually they will control the 'why'.....

I really don't know what to think about this . . . more google stuff. They really are out to rule the internet.

I swear, the second this will sync with my PocketPC, goodbye Outlook!

And it's only a matter of time, and I'm one hundred percent sure it will . . .

IN defference to outlook - 2003, they have got some pretty damn good spam controls built in. I do not use outlook calendar, but I will use this one. But I will keep Outlook for my mail.

In my experience, GMail has a more effective spam filter than Outlook 2k3. That would be the product value that Outlook provides, though; Outlook is an e-mail program that can deal with vastly more complex meta-content than GMail. You're essentially sending a word file with every e-mail, and all the capabilities of Word go with it; things like proofing tools included. That's pretty sweet. Also, with Exchange, Outlook is massively extensible. As a network e-mail client, GMail would fail miserably, but as a personal e-mail address, it's my favorite by far.

And the spam blocking is better.

Since I got both, but have not really utilized Gmail yet, I can only say both are good. Perhaps I should let me gmail out to see how well it works?

nah! That is for only trusted users. Not the internet.
