Yet again 23 Things is giving me the opportunity to look at features I hadn't previously taken the time to do so. The Google suite has a wide range of products, but as I'm not a person who goes looking for the sake of looking, it's only when someone says, "Hey look at this, you can use it to do this" and makes it relevant that I'll give it my attention.
My initial thoughts about Google calendar. Well it is certainly easy to work with, and I liked features such as the weather forecast and the phases of the moon.
Will I use it? Probably not, as it would just be yet another thing I would need to remember to check. My work Outlook calendar is sufficient for my job. It's there in front of me, and my colleagues in the organisation are able to access it. As for my personal life, I am happy with my current (non-online) method of keeping track of what I have planned, and it works for me. As for letting others know what I'm doing, I'd rather tell them and they can put it in their calendars/diaries if it's important to them.
It was interesting to see how libraries are using Google calendar, and good to know the tool is available.
