Simplify. Organize. (And relax.) Organizing your schedule shouldn't be a burden. That's why we've created Google Calendar †“ our free online shareable calendar service. With Google Calendar, it's easy to keep track of all your life's important events †“ birthdays, reunions, little league games, doctor's appointments †“ all in one place.

Using Google Calendar, you can add events and invitations effortlessly, share with friends and family (or keep things to yourself), and search across the web for events you might enjoy. It's organizing made easy.

Features
Calendar Sharing: Set up a calendar for your company softball team, and share it with the whole roster. (Your shortstop will never forget about practice again.) Or share with friends and family so you can view each other's schedules side by side.

Invitations: Create event invitations, send them to friends, and keep track of people's responses and comments, all in one place. Your friends can receive your invitation and post responses even if they don't use Google Calendar themselves.

Quick Add: Click anywhere on your calendar where an event belongs (or use the Quick Add link), and start typing. Google Calendar understands whole phrases like "Brunch with mom at Java Cafe 11am on Saturday," and will pop new events right into your agenda.

Gmail Integration: Add your friend's Super Bowl party to your calendar without ever leaving your Gmail inbox. Gmail now recognizes events mentioned in emails.

Search: Find the date of the Baxter family BBQ (you knew it was sometime this summer). Or, search public calendars to discover new events you're interested in and add them to your own calendar.

Mobile Access: Receive event reminders and notifications on your mobile phone.

Event Publishing: Share your organization's events with the world. Learn more with our Event Publisher Guide.

Quick Facts
Cost: Free

Languages: You can create events in most languages, but our interface is currently only available in English. (More languages are coming soonâ₠¬Ã‚¦.)

I had a look at this, it seems ok
The SMS notification of events seems to be only USA mobile networks, at the moment.

I like that you can look at your Gmail inbox easily once logged in to the calendar.

I've only scratched the surface, so far, but first impressions are quite good ;)

I like the shared calendar function, I can share with Chi and we both know where and when we have to be somewhere lol. Importing an Outlook calendar file is handy too.
