Google Calendar<\/a> team recently ran a survey, asking users what is it that they like and dislike about the product and how to make it better. \u00a0Of course, I submitted my opinions, but, as always, better thoughts come after the action has been already taken. \u00a0Here is my two items wishlist for Google Calendar.<\/p>\n

  1. [Update: not true anymore, see comments] <\/strong>SMS notifications for additional calendars<\/strong>. \u00a0Google Calendar only supports SMS notifications for your primary calendar. \u00a0But if you want to have a separate calendar for work and personal life, then you’ll have to choose which of these will send you messages to the phone.<\/li>\n
  2. Related events<\/strong>. \u00a0Quite often I get into a situation where I need two related entries in the calendar. \u00a0For example, I might have a birthday party event and shopping for presents, or a beer session at the pub and table reservation. \u00a0Having just one event and a tonne of reminders for it doesn’t really work. \u00a0Having two events however makes it more difficult to manage them. \u00a0If the party was rescheduled, I’ll need to update my calendar to reflect the change, but I’ll also need to find and update the related event. \u00a0It would be so much more convenient if I could just relate one event to another and when I move one (a couple of days later, for example), the related event would reschedule itself as well.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
