Google Calendar Is Here

Google’s new calendar service is now avail­able, at http://www.google.com/calendar. It has the typical Gmail-ish look — lean inter­face, fast loading, and asynchro­nous Javascript and HTML. Then again, can we trust Google? MSN Passport service was not very successful because I don’t think anyone wanted to trust Microsoft; this time Google seems like a disaster waiting to happen. With every service that Google launches, we’re putting more of our data on their servers — the land of no ‘Delete’ — and the day their security system gets compro­mised, we’re all in big trouble.

    I wonder if there is a way to sync it with a handheld device, or sync the handheld with the online calendar. That would be a major plus for Google

    Yes, I think I (or somebody else) did. Unfor­tu­nately, this weblog ended up being a testing-ground for our beloved Software Engineering project. Not any more — I changed the password.
