Comments from those who selected Google Calendar as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2009

Comments from those who selected Google Calendar as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

  • "a fantastic time-management tool and it's available everywhere" Bill Miller

  • "is the tool I used for my personal calendar. I can access my calendar wherever I am and many applications, such as the Mozilla Calendar extension, even allow to integrate your Google Calendar into other tools" Guy Boulet

  • "Google provides many tools (Calendar, Notebook, Scholar, etc.) that help me keep on track through my day and week. It is difficult to point out one of the tools above the other. Many are quite useful. Nevertheless, for the purpose of my top ten tools, I would choose Calendar as one of them"  John Shaffer

  • "for keeping my several different lives in order, for being able to share them"  Michelle Gallen

  • "where would I be without Google Calendar and it's mobile alerts?"  Nick Hood

  • "One of the main reasons I like Google Calendar is that it was easy to embed into my website. I put all the student assignments and other events on the calendar.  Color coding allows a quick visual cue so that students (and parents) can easily distinguish scheduled quizzes and tests, daily assignments, and other events. "  Don Simmons

  • "Managing a number of calendars in one without sharing was a pain before Google Calendars.  Now I can share parts of a calendar with some, keep some private and we can all be on the same page."  Kevin Jones

  • " Invaluable for recording my own project-management information as well as sharing availability info to a wider audience. It also integrates with other Google Docs and even sends reminders (free) via SMS. I use Google Calendar to track my own time-on-task as well as give to work colleagues so they will see my availability."  Seaghan Moriarty

  • "Google Calendar is my diary and lesson planner.  Syncs with iCal as well - great!"  Richard Allaway

  • "A free way for us to organise our schedules, we share our timetables among teachers and students to make the lesson timetabling clear." Jonathan Lecun

Comments from those who selected Google Calendar as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2007

  • "I do not exploit it as much as I could, and I've yet to work out if my privacy concerns are real or notional." Seb Schmoller

  • "I use it all the time"  Karl Kapp

  • "both for myself and with versions for various team projects." Michele Martin

  • "If it's not in my calendar, I'll forget about it. Google Calendar allows me to keep my life in order - I make a note in my calendar, then I can think about more pressing matters. When the time comes - be it a project I want to work on or a scheduled event, Google Calendar emails me the scoop. I started using Yahoo Calendar in 1998 and switched to Google Calendar shortly after it was launched in 2006 - and imported all my archives, of course."  Gabe Anderson
