Google Calendar

As a big fan of all things Google, including Google Calendar, I am pretty happy with some new features GCal has recently rolled out.

Im not sure how new this is, but I discovered it today- you can actually have the weather, in the form of a little icon on each day, displayed on your Google Calendar. I find this pretty awesome as it’s one less stop I have to make on this information highway.

But the real reason I am writing this post is due to the fact that recently, Google released a mobile version of their calendar. simply go to calendar.google.com with your mobile web enabled phone and log in, it will display the next few upcoming events you have for whichever calendar you choose to view. With this and mobile GMail, I may not need to use any built in functions of my Treo. But I think this is a good move by Google. They see the obvious shift in the use of cell phones, and the increasing amount of people using smart phones and accessing the internet on them. If Google keeps this up with all of their products, they will no doubt own the mobile web realm.

    If You’re Afraid of Automattic Making $5K Websites, You Need to Change Your Approach

    Recently, WordPress.com/Automattic “entered” the sub-$5,000 website market by announcing a new program, as reported by WordPress Tavern. Naturally, the reaction was mixed, but there seems to be a lot of anger that Automattic would do such a thing, which could potentially kill competition because it’s so big. Here’s the thing: If you think you’re competing with Automattic for sub-$5,000 websites, you need to change your approach.
