    I just started toying with the new service from Google, Calendar : http://www.google.com/googlecalendar/overview.html

    I am quite impressed by the concept, with GMail integration, sharing and mobile phone notifications... There is food for thought here Wendy, I’d love to see some similar features in your great Calendar grin

    Here is the features list :


    • Calendar Sharing: Set up a calendar for your company softball team, and share it with the whole roster. (Your shortstop will never forget about practice again.) Or share with friends and family so you can view each other’s schedules side by side.
    • Invitations: Create event invitations, send them to friends, and keep track of people’s responses and comments, all in one place. Your friends can receive your invitation and post responses even if they don’t use Google Calendar themselves.
    • Quick Add: Click anywhere on your calendar where an event belongs (or use the Quick Add link), and start typing. Google Calendar understands whole phrases like "Brunch with mom at Java Cafe 11am on Saturday," and will pop new events right into your agenda.
    • Gmail Integration: Add your friend’s Super Bowl party to your calendar without ever leaving your Gmail inbox. Gmail now recognizes events mentioned in emails.
    • Search: Find the date of the Baxter family BBQ (you knew it was sometime this summer). Or, search public calendars to discover new events you’re interested in and add them to your own calendar.
    • Mobile Access: Receive event reminders and notifications on your mobile phone.
    • Event Publishing: Share your organization’s events with the world. Learn more with our Event Publisher Guide.

      Sweet! Thanks for the information David. I just hope that they do a mobile interface to it too, like in Gmail.

      Go google, go! grin

          Douglas Bowman did the design work, which explains a lot.

            I didn’t know that, yeah that explains a lot ! (Wouldn’t it be great to have Douglas Bowman switch from Movable Type to MODx... food for thought tongue )

            Sometimes I wonder if Google is not closing in on 37signals, I wouldn’t be surprised to see alternatives to WriteBoard, Basecamp, Backpack, CampFire or TaDa List... we’ll see...

              Or clones thereof in MODx ... then Google could just acquire MODx and short circuit the whole process... :p

                    When it says mobile notification, does it mean I’d receive an sms? Or does it mean it would actually sync with my Blackberry’s calendar?
                    ... Just wondering
