Google Calendar

Google comes up with another app - Google Calendar, which was expected anyways. AJAX to the MAX, as usual. After Google showed us what can be done with AJAX, none of this is ground-breaking...

With publishing and sharing of calendars having become so easy with Google Calendar, one can expect that this will fuel yet another web-based interaction and collaboration... The feature list is quite comprehensive, but it still has quite a lot of bugs. I especially liked the quick add event based on natural language, coloring schemes for different calendar types, dragging events across the calendar visual, and support for iCal.

Congrats to Google for yet another classy product. I only hope that this would spawn a lot of calendaring activity over the web. As noted by Kesava, building successful communities and eco-systems on the web is the key to success, and Google is doing a very good job at creating such social capital with its apps.

Will Google Calendar be another Google Maps. It remains to be seen.
