This week’s launch of Google Calendar has raised some interesting discussion about how ‘nice it will be’ when they offer an API for it. Charlene Li at Forrester discussed this and Dare Obasanjo followed-up with good points as well.

Given this flurry of activity in the calendaring space, I suspect this list will grow before long.
