I’m Finally Sold on Google Calendar

So, after months of only tinkering with Google Calendar, I think two incredibly simple add-ons for Google Calendar have sold me on the product. I don’t have a smart phone, so I’ve had no way of accessing it through a phone, and essentially I’ve just been going the long route, through a bookmark or through the lame ‘Calendar’ link in GMail.

Well, just in the past month or so, two amazing ‘add-ons’, one released by Google and the 2nd by a Firefox contributor, have finally allowed me to consistently begin using Firefox.

The Google/GMail Add-On
Within the past couple of weeks, Google release a new product to the GMail labs, that allows you to add new and custom gadgets to GMail. You can finally view your calendar while viewing your e-mail at the same time. One of the gadgets, is Google Calendar of course.

GCal Pop-Up
Finally a decent Google Calendar Firefox extension. This incredibly simple Firefox Extension, adds a small Google Calendar icon in your Firefox ‘Taskbar’ and immediately pops up your calendar to a full view, for adding, modifying and deleting. At this time, you do have to have a registered account with Mozilla, but the account and the add-on are both free.
