wingzero2309 Posted February 11, 2007 CID Share Posted February 11, 2007 I just started using Google Calendar, and I was wonder if there's any program available for it. I want something that I can use on my PC just as a standalone program, but also I want it to 'synchronize' with Google Calendar automatically...is there such a thing?

resopalrabotnick Posted February 11, 2007 CID Share Posted February 11, 2007 why would you give google the information you should be keeping in outlook or something like that? or one of the many free calendar programs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i can access it from any computer. that, and because all the stuff on the calendar isn't anything super personal, its just test dates, school calendar, etc, so i don't really mind if Google has that info or not.

dlewis23 Posted February 11, 2007 CID Share Posted February 11, 2007 why would you give google the information you should be keeping in outlook or something like that? or one of the many free calendar programs? The don't actually see your information. Its not like someone at google is going around and looking at your calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted February 11, 2007 CID Share Posted February 11, 2007 everyone is all up in arms about identity theft. and then noone thinks twice before letting google and others, but especially google mine you for personal information. who is to say that the calendars set up by users aren't systematically scanned for interesting info that google can use itself or worse, sell. same goes for gmail, their toolbars and all the other services they offer "free". why do you think they don't charge money to use them? because you pay them with information, which is far more valuable.

But still no person will ever see it, the ads that are displayed by what you put in the calandar or even in your email with gmail are controled by a bot. no body see's what you are typing in it. and google sure as hell isnt going to sell your info, thats way to much of a risk for them.

resopalrabotnick Posted February 12, 2007 CID Share Posted February 12, 2007 as one of our great leaders once said:Trust, but verify. and since i can't verify what google is doing i don't trust them. all i see is that they have potential financial gain from marketing personal info.
