Google Calendar Now Has Tasks!

I have ongoing task lists that sit atop my Google Calendar every day (think:  “all day” events).  Now, however, Google Calendar has added a handy “Task” feature:

  • Tasks sit on the right side of your window
  • They can be sorted into different buckets
  • Each task can have a small note that lacks character limits but will launch scrolly-bars if the note’s long

Am still playing with this feature but am looking forward to moving some of my all day events into the task bar.  Woo hoo!

Ominous clouds for Travelocity

If I were priceline or Travelocity or Mobissimo or Expedia I’d be eyeballin’ Google Maps with a bit of trepidation.  What’s to stop them from adding cheapest and quickest airfare routes between destination A and destination B?

Google Maps is already the death knell of HopStop.
