How to Create Events on Google+

July 14, 2011 by Paul Spoerry 4 Comments

If you’re used to leveraging Facebook to coordinate events, or if you’re an event promoter who has started using Google Plus, you might be scratching your head on how you can manage events on Google+. Google+ doesn’t have a baked in events functionality yet. However, it’s still pretty easy to create events and then invite your Google+ circles to them, or even make them public for the world to see.

This is a hack method at best… but until a full fledged API is released for GooglePlus this seems to be the best(only?) method for integrated GCal and GPlus events.

Google Calendar and GMail Getting Makeover: Plus Style

July 6, 2011 by Paul Spoerry Leave a Comment

As news of Google+ began unleashing on the web Google also started pushing out redesigns of a few of the flagship applications to bring them in line with the styling of Google+. The redesigned applications are, at least for the moment, “just cosmetic.” Google hasn’t added any new features to Calendar or GMail, but instead has made it look more like Google+.

Google Takeout: Google Lets You Take Your Data With You

June 29, 2011 by Paul Spoerry 3 Comments

You’ve probably never heard of Google’s Data Liberation Front, but they are an engineering team at Google whose ONLY goal is to make it easier for users to move their data in and out of Google products. We live in a web of services that want to control all of our information and NOT let it out *cough* Facebook not letting us export contacts *cough*.

So they have a funk and fun team name, but in the end this is just another Google service. It lets you easily take your data out of several Google products. So far it supports Buzz, Contacts and Circles, Picasa Web Albums, Profile and Stream. They promise support for more services and products later on; I certainly hope they get on Google Voice soon.

Get Seamless Task Integration on Android with GTasks

May 20, 2011 by Paul Spoerry Leave a Comment

Dear Google,

Everything on Android seamlessly integrates with all of your apps and services like e-mail, calendar, and contacts… except for TASKS. Yes there are other task apps out there like Astrid, Remember The Milk, ToDo List, etc. However, none of them have that uber tight integration with Google Tasks that make you feel like you’re using a familiar Google App.

 

A craft member of XDA (seriously these guys rock) appest has come up with GTasks, and it solves exactly that. The app shares and integrates your tasks with othere Google services such as your calendar in order to have your tasks in it in case they are time sensitive, it allows you to e-mail them, and much more.

I’ve been using this for a while now and I can say that THIS is the task app I was looking for. If you were looking for something like this, take it for a spin and make sure hat you leave some feedback on the XDA forum if you run into any bugs or if you have suggestions.

Features:

  • Rich gtask (google task) client, simple todo list, checklist, note/notes pad tool.
  • Synchronize with multiple google accounts automatically, also support local mode. customize sync mode: auto,manual or sync when open/exit
  • Scroll horizontally to switch between task/tasklist.
  • Order your todo/notes items by due date/name/create order
  • Order your task list easily by dragging them
  • Indent, unindent, share, move easily
  • Repeat reminder enable, set reminder one-time/daily/weekly/monthly… and so on
  • Quick add task by pressing the search key
  • Search all task with autocomplete match
