Well... Randy hinted at it yesterday on the RSS Blog...and here it is!
Google Inc. is introducing on Thursday a free Web calendar service for consumers to schedule events and share them with others, opening a new level of competition with rivals such as Yahoo Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news) and Microsoft Corp.
Google Calendar, available at www.google.com/calendar, offers a variety of features to make using Web calendars as easy as desktop calendars such as Outlook, allowing users to "drag and drop" events from one calendar to another.The new service takes advantage of slick Web programming tricks using Javascript and XML along with RSS. But perhaps the biggest breakthrough is the calendar's use of "natural language processing" technology that simplifies how events are entered.
The best part is that (apart from being really cool) it's very intuitive and fun to use. Give it a shot.
Of course, it's still in Beta. That's the Google way, is it not?
