Google Calander need intergration into Gmail

I thought google's calendar would be a waste of time, like most computer calendar applications (online or otherwise).
But it's not... it's really quite awesome. I should have expected as much, since it IS google we're talking about. Everything they touch is golden.... except google base... what the hell was that?

these guys have patented the art of writing applications which are silky smooth and so natural to use. I never used calendar before either on Hotmail or Yahoo...but seeing the calendar on google, I went back to both Hotmail and Yahoo, and the feeling's like you are doing weightlifting...let me give you an example...in both H & Y, if you have to put up something in the calendar, you go to a separate page and fill in all the boxes...nothing wrong per se...as a developer that is how you have been taught in the class as well...but it isn't natural...

in Cal2, you see the calendar all the time, and you click on a place, you enter the details on a small popup, you can even enter the time in kind of a fuzzy way and it recognizes and adds the event...

You have to love all the work google does, their calender app is now my favorite. Along with gmail. Why people are so concerned with them knowing your personal info ill never know. If you were trusting them with your bank accounts I can see or maybe your ssn. But we are talking about your calender, I mean if you have to pick your kid up from a basball game or schedule your next meeting, why is that a privacy issue and why would you be worried about it.

I find this to be nothing like yahoo's calender, other then the fact its a calender. it's easier to use it has a cleaner interface. All this and it's still in beta. The performance and quickness, not to mention one click add for appointments is great. They have tried ot make it as easy to use as possible you certainly don't get that out of yahoo's, also do you see any ads or banners flashing in your face? Nope, same thing with their email. There is nothing not to love, and the best part is they are adding stuff all the time! Yahoo may have been first, but google is doing it right.

i have a question about duplicate events... i would like to be able to click and drag one event to another day and have google calendar give me the option of moving it or simply copying the event to another day. because if you select the event and drag it to another day, google calendar will only MOVE the event and wont ASK to either COPY or MOVE it.

also, when you edit the event under 'more actions/duplicate event' there is no way to select every monday, or every tuesday, etc... anyone know any ways around these quirks in repeating events?

I'm very proud of ya.

woot!

I like it alot better than Yahoo's. The only thing I would like to see is a link in Gmail to go to the Calendar like how when your in the Calendar you can get to your Gmail. Google All the Way!!!!!!!!!

Yeah......sell your soul.....that's it.

You go boy.

LOL. The Google denizen's, they love to be wronged obviously.

I did. It feels good to be Evil!

It's be better if you could integrate it into your personal homepage, but yeah, interlinking these things will come, I'm sure.

Give 'em time, it just became public.

As for the naysayers below...they're here for entertainment. Enjoy. :)

Aren't we all, Tool? Afterall (gasp)I love my AOL calendar and its ease of use. This one looks pretty good too.

doesn't support Opera browser, so it sucks

Bite me.

Supports Opera 9.0 just peachy.

don't you think it's the other way round...

I am very happy using Google Calendar. Thanks for their non-stop effort to improve the products.

Looks pretty good but I won't personally be using it until there is a sync tool for Outlook like the Yahoo calendar has.

Look, Yahoo did you see that? Yahoo has the tools so why even bother with Google?

Yahoo?

What's that?

rtfa it's there.

The sound rijp makes when someone replies to one of his flamebaits.

i like to appreciate ur organization for this facility released for public.

Yeah, because I not only want Google to know who I email, and what I search for, but I really would like them to know what I do on a daily basis.

Soon, I'm going to want them to know what kind of Music I listen to and also the exact route I drive to work.

I'm all for this because I want them to share everything I do with anyone they deem "ok".

LOL. Exactly. Google, its the indentity theft you never dreamed of!

Hey if you don't like it don't use it.

simple as that.

It's not like i'll be adding any super secret events on it anyway. Could you imagine;

mon 13:00 - meeting with Bush to discuss 'entering' Iran.

Yeah, I wont' use it. Thanks for the advice.

I can still have an opinion, and point out that Google is copying Yahoo.

Do you have a problem with that?

Oh, thanks for the expert suggestion.

Uh......duh. I'm not going to use something I don't like. I can however voice my opinion about it.

This is America dude, learn the rules. :D

Rockin'

Little man is so cute when he's tryin' to pick a fight.

(((looking for Rummy's calendar now)))

Well if your so into your opinions then you have to just get used to me giving u mine.

Seriously what do you think your goin achieve by saying that the big G is goin be spyin on us all 24/7. Du think that anyone that has already made their minds up about google (95% of people) are goin be converted to your (way out of proportion) way of thinking.

I can see it now, A bunch of trained monkeys ( lets call em all rijp) sitting in a room combing over millions of events to see if there's anything tasty there they can pass on up to the big G. Come on. They use some smart algorithm to serve us up ads, thats there business. The end.

And no I don't have a problem with you expressing your opinion but u seem to have a problem with me expressin mine.

And i'm sure google were influenced by Yahoo calendar but then i'm sure that yahoo weren't the first EVER company to come up with the idea of an online calendar formatted as it is. Also maybe the way yahoo have done the calendar is good and people have got used to it. Whats wrong with google using a format that is popular and familiar.

Argggg the mobile alets don't work for the UK.

That Sucks....

But everything else about it seems pretty slick. haven't used Yahoos calendar but i'm sure i'll quickly assimilate CL2 into my daily routine.

Also a Question. Do Google have a widget for their /ig page yet, i can't find any.

As usual they still develop for particular browsers not standards. :-(
That's why Opera and Safari don't work...

Works fine in Opera 9 RC.

Safari? meh... Used it once and then downloaded Firefox for Mac.

Wow its looking like Yahoo! more all the time!

You konw what they say, immitation is the sincerest form of flattery! We should all thank Yahoo for making Google such a great copy cat program!

Thanks Yahoo!

Because of they're complete inability to draw users and make their products seem usefull to the massess, they've allowed Google to outperform them in every way.

Gotta love such a selfless comapny. ;)

Yeah, Yahoo! has only been around for 20 years, and they must not have any customer base, because Yahoo only has every product support you can think of or need..

They don't advertise, because they don't need to, those of us that use Yahoo, KNOW its the best, and we don't want to share it.

but you can go ahead and use your devil in a blue dress company all you want. When you experience identify theft, you can complain to theft.google.com when the gmail is down, and you are sending email to a spammer.

"those of us that use Yahoo, KNOW its the best, and we don't want to share it."

Way to kill your favorite company....you do know their in business to make money, right? *grin*

"but you can go ahead and use your devil in a blue dress company all you want. When you experience identify theft, you can complain to theft.google.com when the gmail is down, and you are sending email to a spammer."

..and again, you assume that which you have no basis for.

quote: They don't advertise, because they don't need to...

Keep using Yahoo search, and keep getting results ranked by what advertisers pay instead of relevance....

Umm.. if you bother to use any yellow pages (and Google does it also) they rank them by preference FIRST, THEN most relevant after.

that's not bad, when you consider that want to you to find them, there is no harm in that, at least Yahoo doesn't sell your email soul to the devil like Google does.

Who owns Yahoo?

When you find that information, get back to me.

Yahoo is a portal. They make PLENTY of money, they turned a profit like 10 years ago, and HAVE been making a profit, so I think they got that covered.

No basis? Again you are blind, my man. You support a product that gives away your information, builds a profile, and yet you can't see the forrest for the trees.

Sheep! All you need is a wool cap, some hooves, and eat some grass, you are there!

Keep using Google, I hope you get get so screwed by google theft of your info, that you will never recover, and then you will remember what I said.

No basis..haha.. I love how people just like to believe in something, and it can NEVER hurt them.

Yeah, this is why we got attacked on 9/11. Its this belief that nothing can hurt you. Tell you what, you believe what you want about Google.

Calendar and Mail, they are good Google products. Have fun with them. Live it up!

New and Improved rijp!

All of the accusations, none of the proof!

Get yours today! (they're free)

Proof, my man. Get some.

"Yahoo! has only been around for 20 years"

and it is starting to look a little crusty.

"those of us that use Yahoo, KNOW its the best, and we don't want to"...

consider any other way to do things.

New? What's new? Same ol'!

I love Google! Calendar doesn't let you set event to repeat bi-weekly. I feature I would like to see so that I can add events such as Pay Days!

It worked for me!

Hey, you get an award! It's in the mail; watch for it!

Hey! Let's be an Ass! Oh, wait...you beat me to it.

I don't think anyone can beat you to your ass.. I mean.. Wow that didn't come out right :)

Man, if this were IRC, you'd *so* be on Bash.org right now.

bash.org? IRC, didn't that go out with Bulletin Boards and gopher?

Nah. If anything IRC is more popular now than it was back then.

Wow. Really? That's amazing. People still use a text based, chat client. Interesting.

*lmao*

Aren't all Chat clients text-based?

All of us? At one time? Nah, betanews couldn't handle that. But, thanks for the invite.

You laugh, while he scratches his head.

Not the ones meant for voice. You can think of VOIP as a chat client. :> Skype is mostly meant for voice, with some text capability.

"Hey! Let's be an Ass! Oh, wait...you beat me to it."
----------------------------------------------
Aw c'mon,Tool,looks like the pot calling the kettle black to me. But you're just having fun, aren't you?

I don't get it, how sms notification works? Have I to pay?

Might be okay.......if it worked!!! Server overload?

You knew Google wouldn't let you down!

Until you need it the most, that's why its in perpetual Beta, so they can claim the bugs are still in testing.

I think car companies should try it, yeah, 2006 Camry, its still in beta, so if it has problems or recalls, we are not responsible.

labs.google.com

Some things actually graduate from beta.

graduate to what?

Now who's being an ass? :P

When did I ever stop? I am the Master!

You even made mention of my infamous comments.. so obviously, you alluded to this fact WAY before now.

Its Mr. a** to you, bud.

Senior Ass?

Teh AssMaster General?

Sir Ass? (Did they knight you yet? Can't see why not...)

Or simply...The a** Man.

Any preferences?

*grin*

Its really awesome! I like everything about it.

Save for a couple little things:

I can't use it as a iCal source for rainlendar yet. (fault on rainlendar's part I assume)

and

The "Calendar Address"'s are read-only feeds of the calendar for now. I hope some day I can use it to update the calendar. :)

Having some server problems right now......

Wow! I am truly impressed!

Why, they aren't even being original, I bet the Google programmers all use Yahoo, and they say, ok lets take Yahoo, and copy it!

Then, we can promote it like a new product! Yeah, this will be great.

Now they can get even more people to steal their info, woo hoo!

have you read the privacy policy? dildo.

I hope they will someday create a sync tool for mobile phones and PDAs. That would be cool. i would leave Outlook and live only with gmail and calendar!
