CL2: Arghhh, Another Google Product I am gonna HAVE to use!!! March 7, 2006

Why are they doing exactly what needs to be done with Calendaring????
CL2 is closely, very closely, integrated with Gmail. It includes
now-standard web 2.0 features – Ajax, subscription feeds for
integration with iCal and other desktop calendars, event creation,
search, sharing, notifications (including SMS) and more.
It’s also clear from the event creation functionality that Google is
is going to attempt to aggregate events like eventful and zvents do
now. If they combine their event creation feature with a web crawl and
parsing of event data (exactly what zvents does), they will be able to
create a very large events database. From the CL2 Trusted Tester
Guidelines:
More Importantly, why is MSFT & Yahoo not??? Sure there are many start ups out there like Airset, zvents, 30 Boxes many many more….but why use a calendaring apps without email integration? Makes No Sense.
This will be THE tool that gets everyone in my family on Gmail…buh bye Outlook and Hotmail, & Yahoo. The functionality combined with Gmail integration is too much to resist.
Patrick Byrne Interview on News.com March 7, 2006

Patrick Byrne maybe not so crazy!
I hope some of the actions –by the authorities- that he speaks of come to light soon. The sooner the better for his health and the Overstock shareholders. I am not one for (believing in, I love to hear them) conspiracies and Patrick distances him from that realm. Which is good. He talks more about methodologies, that should be illegal and that are not.
Update: Recently Cramer and Greenberg started talking conspiracies….
Folks: When two of the most watched and listened to financial reporters talk about conspiracies: SOMETHING IS WRONG.
