- LoudMusic, on 05/20/2008, -1/+42I was expecting something neat, but this appears to just be a tutorial on how to use Calendar. That's lame.
- rjhomuth, on 05/20/2008, -2/+34Google will soon already know my schedule, without me telling it.
- micropizzle, on 05/20/2008, -2/+17These are basic features...
- JaZz0r, on 05/20/2008, -0/+14Google Sync will sync your calendar with your Blackberry. Very useful!

- qumiku, on 05/20/2008, -0/+12Too bad i dont have anything important to remember...
- CheesyPeteza, on 05/20/2008, -0/+10Tricks? That like saying in outlook clicking new mail to write a new email is a trick!
Also the article incorrectly says that only the US has the sms reminder service, I've been using it in the UK here for a good while. - Duositex, on 05/20/2008, -1/+9Yes... everybody lock your scheduling data into a proprietary app that costs $$. Great idea.
- jeffwmartin, on 05/20/2008, -0/+4If it weren't for the text messaging feature, I'd never be on time.

- seandfeeney, on 05/20/2008, -1/+5Nothing I didn't already know, dugg because it is still a good noob reference.
- dearreid, on 05/20/2008, -0/+3If it takes 26 "tricks" to "tame" a calendar app, isn't there something horribly wrong?
- warrior007, on 05/20/2008, -1/+4when i visited your profile i saw you commented "dugg it! :)" for some articles . Here we have to comment about the article
- dpcdomino, on 05/20/2008, -0/+3Really needs to add a "move multiple" button. Sometimes I have to move 10 or more entries and that can take some time to perform...
- BobMysterioso, on 05/20/2008, -0/+3Calendar SMS isn't that basic. Darn handy though.
- DaviDTC, on 05/20/2008, -0/+3You must be doing something wrong cause Google already knows all.
- rathofbuns, on 05/20/2008, -0/+3Yeah, I already knew most of this stuff. No digg. However, I would like to know when some of that syncing love is going to be available for iCal in addition to Outlook.
- jeffwmartin, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2Yea, I've been using GCal for a while now and either use or know about everything listed. It seemed more like an article to attract new users rather than teach us old dogs new tricks.
- dazparkour, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2Don't mock it man, I stopped at tip 21 and the god damn thing bit my arm off!
- JavertHolmes, on 05/20/2008, -1/+3Initiated a pre-emptive "C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!" in response to a "Replied to someone's 'dugg it! :)' comment! :)!" :)

- mantismag, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2search the public calendars for a holiday listing and add that.
- sundby, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Works fine in Norway too.
Dissapointing article, here is a trick for you on how to tame stories; make accurate headlines so people don't get dissapointed by your site. - thefinger, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Didn't know it had gone wild. Stupid titles.
- enterneo, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1No tricks in there, I got bored reading it
- chanop, on 05/20/2008, -1/+2nope, just you
- enterneo, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1I am using it in India
- willemmulder, on 05/20/2008, -1/+2I have a feeling you shouldn't take "get out of Gcal" literally...
- Karmavs, on 05/21/2008, -0/+11. It's a pun.
2. Google calendar is a proprietary app too; and, even worse, it 'phones home' about every single thing you do. Web Apps have to be like that. - Setter, on 05/20/2008, -1/+2You should unlock your pun detector.
- willbb123, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1they need to make one for the Palms. I live off the calender on my treo. It would be amazing to have a backup, because I dont sync too often.
- FunkyNuts, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Help you "tame" Google Calendar?
I didn't really think it was all that wild to begin with. I use the hell out of it, but it certainly didn't need taming.
P.S. These "tricks" were a rehash of the instructions people were too lazy to read or not intuitive enough to figure it out. - martindale, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Not on single page like the rest of the web. Buried.
- redbna, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1There's also busymac.com which has pretty good reviews. I haven't tried it though.
- JohnKappa, on 10/25/2008, -0/+1I agree, the google Synce feature has saved me.
Since the Blackberry application won't work on Vista, I've started using Google Calender, Syncing it with outlook on my desktop (vista) and my laptop (XP).
BANG!!! - Thery're all in synce. Google Rocks! - AppleGeek, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1Good article, but pretty simple stuff. I figured out how to do all that myself during the first few minutes of use.
- mcnab32, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1Here's a question you diggers may be able to answer for me. Is there away to be able to SHOW holidays etc on the calender by default without adding them all in manually? IE mothers day, fathers day etc etc. Perhaps by region? I plan on using Gcal more now after reading this to keep track of birthdays (im horrible at this) as well as others things, having holidays set up as well would be easy to arrange in advance
- AppleGeek, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1I have a shareware app that I use to sync my google calendar and ical, so I can edit events from either and the changes show up in both. Just google it.
- redbna, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1Spanning Sync works fine yet it would be nice if this were a piece of software that google could produce like their Google Calendar Sync
- Huangism, on 05/20/2008, -2/+3buried for "top whatever"
- egossett, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1 am not able to get the google calendar to sync with my blackberry curve. what is the problem there?. The google calendar download installed successfully to the curve. But does not update?

- Shots, on 05/20/2008, -0/+1I had higher expectations for things I read on the front page of Digg.... this disappointed.
- HenrikG, on 05/21/2008, -0/+0The article title is misleading. It's most like a 'How To' article aimed at those whom have never used a calendar program before. Good, but for the average user... common knowledge. None-the-less, there are a couple small gems, specific to Google, in Gcal that don't exist in other calendar programs.
I personally have started using Gcal more and more. I like it and so does my computer-newbie girlfriend. As mentioned by someone else though... still in beta. But even having to use a beta application is sometimes better than the alternative. Thanks Google... - nachoposts, on 05/25/2008, -0/+0dude it doesnt work though !
