Google Calendar Beta goes public


Yet another of Google's constant attempts at bettering lives around the globe, the Beta Version of Google Calendar was recently launched.

Once again, the smooth and fast (which Google is so famous for) web-app offers a lot that could change the way users plan their time. It also syncs nicely and allows users to share their timetable both as individuals or as groups, which is a pretty nice thing to have since the closest that most of us can get to doing this is by using that calendar feature on Microsoft's Outlook Server.


One of the best parts I like about it is the ability to type a one liner, e.g : Dinner with Mom tomorrow at 6pm into the Quick Add box and it would automatically deduce your event and update it. Really Smooth.

The downside? I can't see how to update the calendar or view it if I'm not connected to the net so that's a pretty major flaw. Hope that they will release an offline app that will sync stuff up. Still, its pretty cool and slick and definitely recommend for user, especially for collaboration purposes.
