Googlepedia: The Ultimate Google Resource, Third Edition

The Bottom Line

Using a Web-based calendar has many benefits, chief of which is the ability to share event information publicly. If this matters to you—or if you simply like being able to check your calendar from any available PC—Google Calendar is worth a spin. It’s free to use, if you don’t mind posting your private information across the Internet on Google’s company servers.

Tip

You can also add a Google Calendar event button to your personal website; any visitor clicking this button adds the event to his or her own Google Calendar. For instructions on how to add an event button via HTML, read the Google Calendar Event Publisher Guide (www.google.com/googlecalendar/event_publisher_guide.html)
