Google Calendar

Google Calendar is finally here and it is online. I was able to login without any problems and I even added the iCal address of my 30Boxes calendar.

More on that later.

Update: Actually, trying to add the public iCal address created a problem. So, I just imported the CVS file that I exported from 30Boxes.

Google RSS Reader Released

Google released a web based RSS reader. I have not played with it yet. I just learned it from Scoble. I am now importing all my feeds from Bloglines. It is importing for the last 5 minutes almost. There must be something weird going on.

I will let you know about my thoughts after I use it for a while.

GMail Says “Be Yourself”

One new feature of GMail that I noticed last week is the ability to customize the “From:” address on the outgoing messages to display another email address. This is very handy for me because couple of months ago I have started forwarding all my email to Gmail. One thing that was making me dependent on an email client was the fact that I needed to send emails from my main email address. This should complete my move to Gmail.
