In doing so, he was tasked with reaching out to some gogole calendar users to be possible first users (I was going to say beta testers, but seeing as how it is a “First Draft” and not “Beta”, I refrained). A few quick e-mails here, a phone call there, a blog posting here … and then boom. Word is out. The cat is out of the bag. The owl has left the barn.

We are a new company trying to solve some of the issues that online calendars do not solve very well, i.e. allowing people to - simply and easily – subscribe to calendars, use the information and share with others. Our difference is we don’t want to create another web silo. We want to make it very easy for families to share their availability and manage their increasingly time dependant lives – using the device of their choice. Our first step towards providing a solution is the launch of Calgoo (www.calgoo.com), which is scheduled for later this month. I will give you a heads up about the actual launch before it happens.

Right now it's still in "prototype" status and only stores the entries locally; obviously the next step will be to have them stored in Google Calendar itself or some other shared online storage... But I thought you might be interested in this or able to contribute perhaps. --matias Hi there,
