Google Calendar
This web application is basically an online calendar where you can coordinate events, keep track of events and set reminders with. You can add or remove certain events and write descriptions about that certain event. This calendar is useful because other contacts or buddies can view your calendar online, if you give them access to it.
The design of the site is very straightforward. You can switch views of your calendar to, a certain day, week, month, or view your upcoming agenda. As you proceed, you click on a date and add a description and time to that event. The social aspect is to give access to your contacts, in order to plan accordingly on upcoming events/get-togethers and as a reminder tool. This site is very useful because it allows for you to keep track of your schedule and it allows for other to keep track of when you are available or unavailable.
I personally use this calendar to keep track of my girlfriend’s schedule and for her to keep track of mine. This way, we can more easily decide when to go out on a date or plan a vacation. We use a function where we can both edit the calendar and add or remove events. It allows for a sense of availability for the both of us.
Also, you can view calendars for upcoming tours, special events, concerts and other events. For example, you can look up Faith Hill, and it will show you her calendar of events, and you'll be able to catch her next concert in your area.
The site is very useful for g-mail users. As a part of Google, G-mail and Google calendar go hand-in-hand. Your contacts from g-mail can be imported into the Google calendar to allow others to see the calendar. The utility of this application is very high for the working, highly active individual. It really helps you stay organized. I rate this application 4.5 of 5.
