Google Opens Up Calendar API

By the Betanews Staff | Published April 20, 2006, 3:37 PM

Adding to its growing list of "GData" application programming interfaces (APIs), Google on Thursday opened up its new Calendar beta service to third party developers. The API enables external Web sites and applications to integrate directly with Google Calendar and create, edit or delete events.

Google says the Calendar data API, based on Java, can be used in a number of different ways. "You can create a web front end for your group's calendar that uses Google Calendar as a back end. Or you can generate a public calendar for Google Calendar to display, based on your organization's event database." An application or site can also search calendars and display a list of upcoming events.

Shizzle is a rap slang word for "sure", coined by The Gap Band and popularized by rap star (and gap band sampler) Snoop Dogg. It has been adopted by several rappers and reggae deejays and is commonly used as: "fo' shizzle" as in, "for sure", often paired with "my nizzle" as in, "my nigga".

The song Double Dutch Bus, written by Frankie Smith originally spawned the use of '-izzle' as a suffix for words. While used in its purest form and true meaning as listed above, izzle as a suffix was rarely used, with exceptions occurring in a song now and then. But as the pop and rap scene were particularly successful at said point, with the origin of "wassup" near that time, the phrase became quite popular. Those who heard the phrase, not understanding its meaning, often misenterpreted it, and further spread it without fully understanding it. This word modifier has a cultural origin in black culture, but has since been adopted into the general popular lexicon, gaining widespread recognition in the UK when the hit band Gimp and the Cools released Shizzle (My Nizzle) as a mainstream R&B single

“fo shizzle ma nizzle” is a bas****ization of “fo’ sheezy mah neezy” which is a bas****ization of “for sure mah nigga” which is a bastdardization of “I concur with you whole heartedly my African american brother”

So there. ;P

That’s excellent! Since they launched it, I’ve been hoping for an API that would allow me to include the Google Calendar in Rogue Connect. I’d like to offer all members a calendar, but really don’t see the need to create a whole new service when so many excellent ones are out there already.

OK, I don't like Google, everyone (at least PC Tool) knows this..

But I can respect this.. this I can actually use. And its pretty well done... I like it.

P.S. don't get any ideas, I am not a Google convert . . . . . . . . .... yet.
