Article:
Google Launches Calendar
By Barbara Darrow, CRN12:55 PM EDT Thu. Apr. 13, 2006


This article is about Google's new toy or tool the calendar. the article praises google for its ability to develope their programs out of the public eye so that they are not expected at a certain date giving them as much time as they need to complete it.

however, Microsoft is not very happy because it will give their Microsoft office programs such as word some competition. the article also mentions how many companies are now following in google's footsteps by creating multiple programs and utilities.

I have become very fond of google and cant realy think of the internet or use the internet without google. in response to my father's request, i have just signed up for a Gmail account and plan on checking out the new calendar as soon as i finish this blog post. personaly, google products are easy to use and very graphically appealing. in fact i may give up on microsoft products very soon if i can replace them with google products.
