I checked out the new Google Calendar release but found the initial loading performance to be quite slow. While the interface is functional once loaded, I also encountered some early bugs importing data in iCal format.
I published the IIMB PGP99 Birthday calendar online for Google Calendar, iCal, and Mozilla Calendar. You can use the iCal or XML feeds to sync these birthdays and keep track of our cohort's special dates.
I found early, exclusive screenshots of Google Calendar from 2006. These images provide a historical look at the original user interface and features of the scheduling application during its initial launch and beta phase.
I shared a link speculating on Google's 2006 April Fools' Day release. While Google Calendar was the most anticipated launch, commenters also held out hope for the long-rumored GDrive cloud storage service.
I speculate on the launch date of Google Calendar in this brief 2005 post, capturing the early buzz surrounding the release of Google's foundational scheduling and productivity application.
I received an invite for Google Spreadsheets and was impressed by its AJAX interface. Despite early criticisms about the lack of integration between Google’s web apps, I find tools like Calendar and Notebook increasingly indispensable.

You are right. It was too frigging slow in the beginning. But after the initial wait, things worked out. :))

Do you still see it being slow?

It loads slowly, but is OK now. I’m having problems importing data in the iCal format, though.
