Google Calendar kicks some serious butt. Unfortunately, being a web application, it doesn't natively synchronize with mobile devices like Pocket PCs, Palm devices, or cell phones. If you want to do that, you'll need a 3rd-party application, like GooSync. GooSync is a little application that actually lives on your mobile device, and can synchronize to Google Calendar "over the air". This means that ...

While there are several methods for syncing Google Calendar with Outlook or a Windows Mobile device, they tend to involve adding new software to the mix. Download Squad reader Dan sent us a nice tip for anyone who's not looking to synchronize calendars, but simply wants to use Google Calendar within Outlook. All you have to do is right-click on the calendar tab in Outlook, click on Properties, ...

Here's a neat little utility with questionable usefulness and a less-than-intuitive UI - but, yes, it's neat. AmbientClock pulls appointments from your Google Calendar and maps them along a circular analog clock. You can also add a secondary calendar (such as that of a co-worker or spouse) for a visual representation of schedule conflicts. So far, I can't really see what AmbientClock accomplishes ...

You remember the video, right? I got my wish. Eleven days ago I posted about a new online productivity suite that I was dying to try. Well it's late on Halloween evening, and I've just spent the last hour playing with the various features in Scrybe that enticed me when I first saw the demo video. And so far, I think we have a winner on our hands. After playing around with the user interface for a ...

Remember Calgoo? It's that quirky windows calendar application that fully synchronizes with Google Calendar. We reviewed them here at Download Squad back when they released their "First Draft" version (they're avoiding the 'b' word like the plague), and we're pleased to report that it appears they took our comments to heart while working on this version. Calgoo Second Draft is a very nice ...

In this era of worshipping at the temple of "The David" (Getting Things Done), there is no shortage of offline and online productivity suites. With that in mind, I rarely get all that excited about the new Web 2.0 offerings that get a bit of buzz here and there. But Scrybe appears to be different. Way different. Like wow different. Here, just watch: Adblock Scrybe is an online organizer ...

I'm going to start off by saying that I think Google Calendar rocks, and any online calendar is going to have to be something really special, and have some way cool features to come close to that online application. However, that doesn't stop me from investigating other calendar apps out there. Spongecell is an online calendar that has a nice little addition called Spongebar. This unique bar ...

While you were busy learning how to sync your Google Calendars and Gmail with Outlook, the search giant cranked out some unique new Calendar features and fired up their translation engines. First on the list is the addition of 'web content events' - you can now easily add icons to the top of your calendars that display the weather, phases of the moon and when new Google Doodles land on their ...

The web has been abuzz with the recent "First Draft" release of Calgoo, a calendaring solution whose claim to fame is full synchronization with Google Calendar. While I can report that Calgoo definitely works, that's about the best thing I can say about it right now. To be fair, Calgoo is recognizing that this is a very early release (they're avoiding the word "beta" like the plague) and the ...

The web-based applications are built on the same free Google applications you are used to like Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and Google Page Creator, but with the addition of your unique branding and interface design.

Online SoftwareAs much as I enjoyed writing part 1 of this series about software you can use for GTD even while offline (I've had a soft spot in my heart for offline-capable software forever), I have a feeling that part 2 is what many of you are waiting for - and the question you'd like answered is "how do you implement GTD using online tools, preferably free ones?". Well, there are quite a ...

Garett Rogers over at Googling Google discovered a few weeks ago that there is some dormant code in Google Calendar that appears to have only one possible use: completable events, otherwise known as tasks. For me, this is a killer, killer feature. I've already replaced Microsoft Outlook for email and calendar management with Gmail and Google Calendar respectively. Right now I'm using Backpack by ...
