GDrive Hacks and Info

I’ve posted more conversation about the recent GDrive siting.
(more…)

Google Operating System has more about the reported finding, including the possibility of more features:

“* Publish. All of the files you store on Platypus are automatically accessible from the (corporate) web.
* Share. Other Googlers can mount your Platypus folders and open your files in read-only mode.
* Local IO speeds. Open and save as quickly as you could if you were accessing them from your C: drive.”

Pulled much too early, it appears that the first glimpses of the Gdrive have been found online by bloggers searching for the machinations of their favorite discovery target, Google. Geekness describes the finding (Note: since his post has been Dugg, you may have issues accessing the site).

Review: Google Calendar

“Looks like Google Calendar is live: you can sign up here. Remember my disclaimer: I’m speaking only for myself, not for Google on this post. But it’s live and other folks are talking about it, so let’s take a look. To try it out, I added the sessions that I’ll be speaking on next week at the Boston WebmasterWorld conference, and it looks like this”

Eric Schmidt might want to re-think this one.

The Official Google Blog announces its Google Calendar, following up on the many posts yesterday.

Dave Winer broke the news and Mike Arrington confirmed it - everyone’s favorite mega SE just launched Google Calendar.

The screenshots have been leaked/shown before but the live example looks good. Looks like you need a Gmail account to login but once there, you’re presented with a nice clean monthly calendar, with views for day/weekly/month/next 4 days/agenda. Features Ive played with so far include the ability to invite people to an event and searching for public calendars.

On the search, it looks like they have honed in on their own calendars and iCals. It also looks like you will be able to incorporate different holiday calendars as well as view your friend’s calendars. In the settings, you’ll be able to setup alerts via email/SMS/pop-up. Importing of existing calendars is available via csv and iCal format.

Great tool so far.

For the last week, it appears that Google and the PR people have done a good job in squelching the rumors/soft facts about their online storage offering.

Here are two more sites discussing it:
