Google CL2 was released today and ushered in a new age of fun and frolics for Google critics. Now they not only know what you want (Google Search), they know what you have (Google Desktop), what you buy (Froogle) and where you are (Google Maps) but now when you’re going to be there (Google Calendar). Privacy loons and criminals are again shouting about how this will…uh…be scary and stuff.
Why do I care?
Well, SyncBridge works with calendars of course. Google hasn’t released their API yet but we’ll see what we can do about synchronising it. There’s also not much provision for secure transfers of private calendars in CL2. I’m sure this is all stuff they’ll fix.
Standalone it’s not bad at all. Its pretty – long URLs in public calendars look ugly but that’s a minor niggle. If they get with the program and manage to release an API sometime soon, we’ll work with them
