Google Calendar: Now Even better

Google has made some nice little changes to it's popular Google Calendar. The changes may seem small, but they really matter, and make it even better!

For ex: Flexible reminder times

Now, you can now set a reminder for any time between 4 weeks and 5 minutes before your event. This feature is really going to be very useful and popular for many of us.










Dragging to create new events

Making a new event from the Day or Week view is really easy -- you simply click on the time, drag the duration and enter a name. But if you have a busy calendar (and who doesn't?) you probably bumped into some problems. If an event is already scheduled for that time, there was no way to click and drag without messing up the other events on your calendar. You told us you often worked around this by creating the meeting in an open slot and dragging it to the desired time. Lots of extra work.

Adding a friend's calendar









It's much easier now: you simply start typing a name in the "Add a friend's calendar" box and we'll match against your address book. Click the name, and the calendar will be added.


Perhaps big launches and shiny new features get most of the attention, but little things matter too.

Customize your web clips in Gmail

You must have noticed those webclips in your inbox. These web clips display feeds (news headlines, blog posts, or pretty much anything in RSS/Atom format), ads and other information at the top of your inbox. They look like this:


There are some feeds in there by default, so you might be used to seeing headlines from the New York Times or recipes or a word of the day. But if you want, you can customize your web clips under the Settings menu.


Just click on the 'Web Clips' tab to see a list of your current subscriptions, browse popular feeds by topic, and select the ones that interest you. You can also add your own URLs to get your favorite blogs and other news right above your inbox.

Have fun!
