Google Calendar

April 12th, 2006

Google released their long awaited calendar today. At first blush it looks like a worthy contender to Yahoo calendar. Some initial thoughts:

1. AJAX interface for pretty much everything.
2. Simple English addition of events possible (”Party tomorrow at 7pm” will do it)
3. Sharing of calendars is nice
4. Dragging to extend the length of an appointment is cool
5. Multiple calendars can be created on your single a/c (Home, Work, Golf etc.)
6. iCAL/XML feeds

Would be nice to have:

1. Upload photos to an event. Maybe this needs Google Photos to happen first…?
2. Some to-do list with due dates integrated into the calendar

That’s what I can think of in the first 10 minutes…
