jonhThis is one of those write-ups meant for my fellow Mac users out there. This is a great new tool that just got released as a public beta yesterday called Spanning Sync. The popularity of this tool, after getting dugg was so overwhelming that they had to shut it down to move to a more robust system.
The use of this tool is something I’ve been craving as I’ve been delving more and more into the tools provided by Google. Tracking multiple calendars to multiple people is a never-ending struggle with software and differing platforms. The transfer of more and more of our computing power to the internet is making this less and less of a problem but not without plenty of kinks in the process.
Out of the box, you can link to a Google calendar within iCal but it’s a one-way communication and you’re unable to edit/sync outside of the Google interface. This tool [ Spanning Sync ] is coming on the scene to fix this problem and from what I’ve seen of their demo – this is going to be a phenomenal tool for all Mac users who like the Google calendar service for broad application.
