Google launched their calendar application today. It is very nice, especially for a freebie. You can have RSS feeds and iCal sync with it. The user interface is pretty easy, and you can make it all or partially public. Not to mention you can put links on your site for visitors to click and automatically add your event to their calendar. This is more of a launch befitting Google.

Now for my paranoia: Google is the host for too much knowledge. For example: Gmail, Personalized search, Desktop Search, Gchat, Google Mobile, Blogger, and now Google Calendar. That is waaaaaaaaaaay too much information for one company to have about any one person. Unfortunately, there are a LOT of people who are blindly drawn to the convenience of having all their services so conveniently thrown together. Like I said, just my paranoid mind running overtime.
