Google Launches Online Calendar
Google Launches Online CalendarGoogle launched its online calendar late last week and I've given it a test spin. It looks good and has the basic functionality you need.
It's a beta release, so they still have a good way to go to make the calendar the best it can be.
It's all part of Google's efforts to make themselves the one stop shop for everything you need online. I'm not sure that'll work.
Right now I'm thinking Google has so much data about me and my ad buying habits, my search engine habits, my online habits that it's getting almost to the "I don't want them having any more information about me stage."
Google have been a fantastic company for so many on the web that it sounds a little ungrateful of me I think.
I'm going to have to think about this one before I start putting all of my appointments and details into the calendar.
Cheers
Brendon

It's the fact that you're almost dependent on a search engine for information that it's such a unique situation. As they might be benign now, but remember that a company can be bought out (admittedly, by someone with billions) and then who does that information belong to?
