I’ve just gotta say that I love google’s services!  Their getting a little to big for me……  Rather they long ago got to big!  Without trying to sound like an alarmist or anything: they have a TON of power over the internet!  They have as much power over the internet as microsoft has over the computers.

But I digress……  I do love their calendar and analytics web apps!  The analytics app I use to monitor how  site content on English Bay.com is doing and what problems there may be.  It gives amazing stats!  Things I have never had before like the stat on connection  speeds of our site visitors.  Our average visitor has a cable internet connection, and only 2% use dial up.  Thats useful information for me as the webmaster of this site.

There google calendar application is another great example of a highly useful web app.  I use it at the LGTB Centre where I volunteer and here on English Bay.com.  On this site it is great for showing events in this area.  Also there are a number of other public calendars you can subscribe to and show in your own calendar.  I have done that on the English Bay.com calendar and now there is a TON more listings there.  Everything from Canadian holidays, the weather, music and comedy listings, all kinds of stuff….  Check it out: English Bay.com Community Calendar

If you have any community listings for our calendar please email them to me.  We will lists any public event in the Vancouver area, big events to garage sales, it’s all fair game.
