Google Calendar released

Google Calendar is live and it looks pretty good, detaild tour can be viewed here.

The Key features:

  • Text recognition – In adding an event, or detecting a new event from Gmail, Calendar automatically detects event-specific words and suggests the adding of a new event with data that is auto-structured.
  • Manage Multiple Calendars – set up multiple calendars (work, personal, etc) and view them separately or together.
  • Heavy Gmail integration – Gmail recognizes when messages include event information, allowing quick add to Google Calendar with just a couple clicks. Google Calendar link is on the right side of the Gmail page.
  • Sharing – Calendars can be shared with others, users can subscribe to others’ shared calendars. Read/write permissions can be granted on a per user basis. Calendars can be published via a web page or via RSS, so readers do not need to be on the Google Calendar platform.
  • Importing – import events from other calendar programs, including Yahoo Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Click on Settings, then Import Calendar.
  • Calendar Search – Of course.
