Google has forged ahead yet again!

Google Sync

Many thought GMail’s previous support of IMAP had finally made Google a major player in the online application industry.  However, one major downfall has always been the lack of standardized support to syncronize Google Calendar with the heavily used personal and business used Microsoft Outlook.

Early this month, Google officially announced that Google Calendar will now sync with Outlook 2007, and 2003.  Synchronization is made possible by use of a small resource light tool called Google Calendar Sync.

Once installed, this software can monitor your primary Google Calendar, and default Outlook Calendar.  It provides directional control over the flow of information (one or two way synchronization options).  Syncs can even be configured to automatically run at a minimum of every 10 minutes.

Check out this Google Calendar Help page for more information, and to download the latest version of the Google Sync software.
