Google Calendar
It's fast, slick and stable. Adding an event is as easy as and Calendar
structures the data properly and places a correct calendar entry.
The Key features:
- Text recognition - In adding an event or detecting a new event
from Gmail, Calendar automatically detects event-specific words
and suggests the adding of a new event with data auto-structured.
- Manage Multiple Calendars - set up multiple calendars (work,
personal, etc) and view them separately or together.
- Heavy Gmail integration - Gmail recognizes when messages include
event information, so when you get emailed about an event, you
can add it to Google Calendar with just a couple clicks. Google
Calendar links on the right side of the Gmail page.
- Sharing - Calendars can be shared with others, and you can subscribe
to others' shared calendars. Read/write permissions can be granted
on a per user basis. Calendars can be published via a web page
or via RSS, so readers do not need to be on the Google Calendar
platform.
- Importing - You can import events from other calendar programs,
including Yahoo Calendar and Microsoft Outlook. Click "Settings,"
then "Import Calendar".
- Calendar Search
Overall impression: Excellent. And this application
is impressive in its speed and stability.

Catalog
Google's catalog -- to help both consumers and corporations find
everything from apple butter to zipper doodles. Personally I feel
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make
it universally accessible and useful.
Both consumer and corporate catalogs are accessible through the
search. Catalogs were initially collected by Google staff members,
but vendors and users may also suggest a catalog.
The only drawback to Google's new catalog browser is that you can't
circle the items you really want. And if you don't have a high speed
connection, the catalog pages will load slowly.
