No. 30<\/em><\/strong> on the list of most-read posts on this blog<\/a> appeared on April 15, 2006, and introduced us to a tool which is invaluable in helping teams to collaborate for free. Google calendar is a helpful gift to the world from what some are calling the new Microsoft. Actually, am I the only one who is starting to worry about Google\u2019s total dominance?<\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday I linked to Google\u2019s new calendar <\/a>(together with many other bloggers!). This is such a fantastic tool I felt I just had to tell you a bit more about it today and how to make the most of it.<\/p>\n

First, to get the bad news out of the way, the critical flaw of the Google calendar is the lack of a two-way sync facility with Outlook. Many bloggers have complained about this, but so far I haven\u2019t found any blogger with a solution. However, you\u2019ll be glad to know that I have a solution of sorts! This should help all of us, at least until the launch of either the beta version of Outlook, or a later Google calendar update\u2014either of which will almost certainly facilitate full integration.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, BEWARE of importing your appointments into Google calendar at the moment\u2014do it, but I recommend that you create a new diary specifically for those appointments; in that way you should not run into a bug that means importing into the default calendar will move the time of all your appointments!<\/p>\n

What, then, is the solution I have found? It\u2019s only one-way, I\u2019m afraid, but it will allow you to automatically include diary events from a Google calendar into your Outlook calendar and \u201csubscribe\u201d to them. The program is free and can be downloaded here<\/a>. First, you will probably need to install a couple of free updates from Microsoft here<\/a> and here<\/a> in order to make it work. Once installed, it will look like nothing has happened, so shut down<\/em> your PC (NOT restart) and the installation should complete.<\/p>\n

You can then simply subscribe to the calendars from your Google calendar account by using the links which appear on the \u201ccalendar settings\u201d page of each of your calendars. I am not sure if everyone will have this problem, but for now it seems like only the public calendars are working and not the private ones; however, that may change soon. . . .\u201d<\/p>\n
