The Google Insider

Google aims to keep YOU and a few of your online friends, associated and colleagues organized with the recently released Google Calendar (beta of course.) Here’s the official line from a recent edition of the Google friends newsletter:

If you have a work life, a home life, and a social life, you know the challenge of tracking all of it - and then there’s coordinating with friends and family members too. The new Google Calendar can help. You can create a calendar, share it with anyone you invite, and send event invitations right from your calendar. It’s also integrated with Gmail so you can directly add events that are mentioned in your email messages. Perhaps most important, Google Calendar supports other popular calendar applications so you can easily import and export your scheduled info.

Adding to its lineup of innovations and acquisitions, Google is eyeing personal GPS-based radio advertising using via the Adwords program. From the Micro Markets Blog:

Eric Schmidt, Google CEO, believes that when he is listening to the radio in his car, radio ads should personally address him about his needs. For example, while driving past a clothing store, a radio ad should remind Eric that he needs a pair of pants and instruct him to turn left at the upcoming clothing store.
