I've been reading many a blog lately with folks trying to get away from the behemoth that is Google. Reasons are anything from privacy concerns to their increasingly-Microsoft-ish feel.
I'm in the opposite camp; I can't imagine getting through a day without Google. Forget Google Docs (I hate them). I've migrated away from my iGoogle and even Google Reader now). No, the reason I can't live without my Google is one simple reason: Google Calendar. Not only do I use [...]

Google has been on a multi-year tear through the online advertising world, and its moves as of late in the Web application genre have proven no less significant. Gmail continues to grow both in space and in users; its Calendar app is consistently said to be one of the best out there; and Google Docs & Spreadsheets is steadily gaining, too, both because it’s really two apps in one and because it is already part of [...]

Instead, I???ll do you a favor and introduce the two of [...]

We’ve all done it. We’ve gone with the biggest and brawniest – the Walmarts, the Microsofts – instead of looking to those in their shadow to find what we’re looking for. Even right now, I’m writing this review in MS Word, perhaps the most ubiquitous processor out there. I could very well achieve a fine document from something like Open Office. I’d even prefer to look to the little guy to get the job done, but there are always a [...]

The online calendar market was a sparse one a few months ago. Within a single year, there have been major developments in the segment, one of which you???ve undoubtedly heard of: Google Calendar. ???G-Cal??? is the application???s name in my circle, but let’s skip the nomenclature.
