Google, the company which seems to do everything right, has struck gold again. They started off with the best search engine the internet has ever seen... then they completely revolutionized web-based email with their Gmail feature. They put MSN messenger to shame with their incredibly sleet and fast instant messenger, GoogleTalk, and now... yet again, they have Bill Gates sweating bullets with their release of GoogleCalendar.Yesterday, Thursday, Google released this calendar to everyone with a Gmail account. I checked it out, and it is incredible. None of this clicking on an "add event" button and then filling in the time, date, and all that information into a bunch of fields, and then having to re-enter it all if any of the info changes later on. With GoogleCalendar, you click right on your calendar and a little pop-up box appears where you type in your event. If you have your calendar set to a day view, you can even drag the size of the event to cover several hours. And if something has to be moved to another day for some reason, don't worry. Just drag and drop that event to the new day and time. If you want to print off your daily, weekly, or monthly calendar, just click the little printer icon, and GoogleCalendar will automatically convert your selected view to a PDF, ready to print. It's really too cool for me to explain here, so if you have a Gmail account, drop by http://calendar.google.com and check out your calendar. Enjoy.
