Search Public Events in Google Calendar
November 15, 2006
Posted by Nikhil Chandhok, Product Manager
Today we launched a new feature of
Google Calendar
: "Search public events." It lets you search over public events added by others using Calendar and also events we've added by working with partners to provide movie listings, concerts, and all sorts of other fun events.
There are many reasons we wanted to build this feature, but mainly because some of us on the team moved to New York last year to work in our office there. Needless to say, we wanted to experience everything that the city had to offer but had trouble finding all the fun and fascination that New York has to offer. After Google Calendar launched in April, we saw a surge in the number of public calendars being shared. We thought if we made public events searchable, we could find interesting events with little effort by encouraging people to share interesting events.
So whether you're interested in
broadway
,
movies
,
art
,
music
,
photography
,
farmer's markets
,
Knicks basketball
(we love 'em in NY) or even good old
dumpster diving
, we hope you find this new feature useful. If you don't see your favorite event, add it to a public calendar and share it with the world. And while you're finding new and interesting things to do, please
send us feedback
on other ways we can improve the service.
