New Google Calendar Features

Microsoft Office Outlook

I’ve said for a while now that the biggets reason Outlook has not crubled in a pile of internal-server-based junk mail is the calendar.  It’s just hard to beat, replicate and substitute.

Google is trying, not winning yet…but trying.

“We’re working a new feature that makes it easier to schedule events with guests. The new event page will include a calendar right next to your guest list, so you can see when people are free,” explains Google.

This is a good first step.  Step 2 – figure out a way to let people share locations.  Then they can do group scheduling of people and places.

Exporting Google Reader's Stars

I totally love Google reader – and I like a few of the features and I have a few feature requests, but this post from RKG show us to export starred items from google.

I always find myself starring things and never getting back to them.  This will help.

I really like this toll/app zemanta. And now they’ve added more features. Nice work guys.

If you haven;t heard of it yet – it is a plug in for Firefox which, while you are writing your blog post, will suggest pictures, links and keywords for you to include.

It really takes a lot of the dirty work off your hands when posting!

Thanks zemanta team!

Oh  yea – and how did I find out about the update.  Twitter.  So as soon as they had it working, I knew about it.

And how long did it take to install – 0 seconds.  Why, because it’s a service.  I just opened WordPress and blammo, ready to roll.

Yea, ask me again why I love software as a service…hmmm.  LOVE IT!
