Google Calendar
Today , Google announced Google Calendar, a free, web-based calendar service that enables users to access, manage and share all of their important appointments and special occasions in one place. Once users sign in at http://www.google.com/calendar with their Google Account, they can begin adding events and invitations to their calendar effortlessly, sharing events with their friends and family, and searching across the web for events they might enjoy. In line with Google’s mission to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful, Google Calendar helps users organize and access information related to how they spend their time.
Key features include:
* Ease of use: Users can easily add events just by clicking where an event belongs and typing a brief snippet that describes this new event. The natural language recognition feature (called Quick Add) enables users to make entries without filling out cumbersome forms. If users have a Gmail account, they may see an “Add to Calendar” link appear alongside a message that mentions an event, whereby they can add this event to Google Calendar with just one click.
* One central location for calendar information: Users can see the calendars of their friends, contacts and activity groups alongside their own schedules, making planning much easier. For example, they can view their personal calendar along with their family’s calendar, and major U.S. holidays. Additionally, users can import calendars from other applications that support the iCal and CSV formats, and also search for public calendars on the web.
