Google Calendar

Another one for Google Labs.

Tuesday, February 22, 2005
I know what Google's going to do next!

Quote:
I've seen serious traffic on my church's website this month from Googlebots. Last year I added a Calendar to the site using the ical standard, and now the Googlebots are pinging the heck out of the php pages rendering the calendar. We're talking 90% of the site's accesses have been from Google this month.

My prediction is: Google Labs will be releasing a Google Calendar tool soon. You heard it here first.

The fact they are attracted to the ical standard is cool...maybe it can take off with their support.

UPDATE (2/24): Since there seems to be so many folks linking and reading this post, let me add a couple bits:

1. My guess is that Google Calendar would be a search tool, not a calendar application.
2. If you are interested in a cool calendar tool, check out Mozilla's Sunbird which can be rendered on the web using SourceForge's PHP based Calendar.
3. This is just a guess based on traffic on one site. Even if they are working on it, it may never get out of the lab.
4. Here's the stats I based my prediction on:

The Googlebot crawls lots of different types of webpages. Not all of these pages become indexed. Not all of the indexes that google compiles become searchable. Not all of google's searchable indexes make it to an experimental production service (ie Google Labs beta feature.) But it is interesting and thanks for sharing

Please allow me to bump thee.


Calendar

They must keep pace with Microsoft, so will have one soon. It's the buzz on the blogs again.

Mesh Calendar from MS.

If they would do it, I think (for a long time actually...) it would be something like Hula project, but centered around Gmail of course.

I am starting to feel that there is nothing Google could put out there I wouldn't love or try. I am always in need of a calendar, and have one or two on the web, but they are not convenient.

Would be thrilling to have a calendar that was tied to my gmail, that I could access anywhere easily and would send me reminders.

I am just grinning thinking about it.

It is good to grow up in this era. Heh.

I have been hoping for this for months!! One of the only good things yahoo has going for it IMO is its email/contacts/calendar integration. Here's to hoping Google picks up the pace and does it soon!! That link(calendar.google.com) is definitly a good sign.
