eWEEK Labs Walk-Through: Google Calendar

Google Calendar supports sharing calendars and soliciting comments about upcoming events.

We could create events using natural language to specify a time, date and place; Google Calendar parses the content and creates the event.

Google Calendar also looks at location data as a way to tap into the Google Maps application.

The interface allows editing of fields without having to click on an edit button–just hover the cursor over a field and it becomes editable

Like most calendar and scheduling applications, Google Calendar allowed us to manage multiple calendars, each with its own sharing settings.

Shortcuts are well-integrated. Here, we could configure calendar settings from the main calendar view.

We liked the ease with which we could create events through this bubble dialog from the calendar grid in the main view.

No calendar is complete without an agenda view. The listing uses icons to indicate attendees and sharing as well as location details.
