Google has finally released Google Calendar! I have been waiting for this ever since I got my Google Mail account. From the calendar front page:

• Seeing the big picture
  With Google Calendar, you can see your friends’ and family’s schedules right next to your own; quickly add events mentioned in Gmail conversations or saved in other calendar applications; and add other interesting events that you find online.

• Sharing events and calendars
  You decide who can see your calendar and which details they can view. Planning an event? You can create invitations, send reminders and keep track of RSVPs right inside Google Calendar. Organizations can promote events, too.
• Staying on schedule
  You can set up automatic event reminders, including SMS notifications, and instantly bring up anything on your calendar with the built-in search tool.

Now all they need to do is better integrate it into my Gmail account and we will be all set. Now let’s just see if I actually use it enough to make my waiting worth while. Hrm…I guess I will need to actually start writing things on my calendar then…
