Web Calendar

For years, rumors have been Google is working on a Web calendar application. Days ago, google released Google Calendar. I once fell asleep while waiting for Google to come up with its calendar app, I turned to BackPack of 37Signals, an web application that supports group collaboration on writing documentation quite well. BackPack also comes with a reminder feature which I have been using it as my simple calendar. I had put numerous reminders into my BackPack that remind me to do things when the times come. So far so good. I particular like the way I can set a reminder in a fuzzy way - set up a coming event to happen 'in a couple days', or 'in a week', thus I don't have to be precise on every to-do when setting it. Google Calendar, on the other hand, may require to be precise in date when setting up a future event. However, you can set up an event quickly by specifying a date, say '5/1,' using the 'Quick Add', and Google Calendar is smart enough to finish setting the event for you quickly.

No doubt, on the first peep, Google Calendar can share multiple calendars and alert you though cell phone, which are much more powerful. In the near future, I might have to switch to Google because I manage multiple calendars in real life. For now, it has been added to Keeca Web collection.
