Google Calendar

Google Calendar is one of Google's latest beta web apps. Great tool with a friendly user interface. If you're already a Gmail user, you've already got the account for Google calendar. There is no need to create a separate account.

I've used it for about five days now and am impressed with how easy it is to use and share with others. My wife and I can share our calendars with each other and not have "remember" to tell each other what is going on in our lives. I can also check from work what is going on socially without having to keep two calendars or call home to find out if there is a conflict. It's great!

But wait... there's more. If you use an RSS feed reader (aggregator) you can subscribe to a feed of your own calendar or someone elses one of two different formats. Both are published standards One is RSS and the other is iCAL.
