Google Calendar  

Speculation is growing about an on-line calendar by Google.
I like the idea!
I suffer an MSOutlook based system at ${WORK}, which I must admit, is very useful despite the odd iritating quirks. Setting up meetings & group reminders, deadlines and tasks etc. To be able to have the same sort of functionality available *wherever* would be fantastic!
I might then start remembering birthdays, and when to check the batteries for the old fella across the road.
Integration with Thunderbird would sure be preferable to having a stand-alone calendar like Sunbird.

Can't you do this already, say with Yahoo!


Well, not without a lot of pissing around.
That's just a web-based caledar that you access via abrowser.
To integrate it with other client based applications you would need to export the contents of the calendar and then import that into the app.
What they are talking about is a server-based systm which uses a std protocol (ical) to to talk back & forth to the app.
App gets server info; changes in app. are loaded back to server.
.. And yes you could also look in with a browser.
