- bchhun 15y agoCreating events with Google Agenda and being able to show them in G+ would be awesome !
- AndrewDucker 15y agoYes. I know people who joined FB simply because that's where all of the events were being organised.
- matwood 15y agoEvents are a specific case of integrating G+ across all google products. Once g+ gets integrated with gcal, it should only take minor changes to implement events.
- kelnos 15y agoDisagree on the "minor" bit -- I find Facebook's events system to be excellently done from a UX perspective. Simply making it possible to add GCal events from G+ and invite people from your circles would not do the trick.
- mindcrime 15y agoI'm thinking they don't need a separate "events" feature, but just tight integration with Google Calendar. When I can create an event in GCal and invite by Circles, etc., then they'll have a pretty slick "events" setup.
- NolF 15y agoDon't forget that a lot of the appeal of the FB's events feature is seeing who else is invited, who else is attending, the whole description and possible discussion that can also occur. Sometimes details need to be organised, comments made etc... I think it would also be cool and useful when uploading pictures to be able to tag an event so there is an album which people invited to the event can see and comment.
- mindcrime 15y agoSure, and I'm not arguing against any of that... I'm just saying that the way for Google to implement "events" is to thoroughly integrate G+ with GCal, so that you can do all those things. And I hope that's what they do, as I - for one - don't want yet another place that I have to pay attention to, to keep track of events. Thankfully almost everything calendar related supports ical or some export format that Google Calendar can handle, or it'd be a real mess. :-)
