Another beautiful [beta] Web 2.0 application brought to you by Google. Multiple views, multiple calendars, sharing calendars, super-cool interface (even cooler than Gmail). Of course it doesn’t match with the flying abilities of Google Earth, but it does set the standard for calendar applications on the browser. Go to Google Calendar.

Writely Goes Google
I briefly reviewed Writely, the web word processor, a few couple of months ago in one of my blog posts. Quite recently, it appears that Google has acquired the company that develops Writely.

Chris showed me the layout of the new Admin CP design that will be included in the next version of MyBB after 1.0, and I assure you it looks very good. I can’t wait for it to be released and I’m sure you can’t too.
