Michelle, you are so right! I love Google too.

I use many of their tools with my clients everyday for collaborating and sharing information. Each tool really compliments another.

In fact, I often think about becoming a Google VA.

Thanks for sharing this valuable information.

Michelle, great entry. I love Google too and Google calendar does make life a lot easier. I am also using their groups to create private online forums for my group coaching program so we can all stay connected. In my humble opinion, Google is where it’s at.

Congrats on your new blog!!!

Michelle…

I used Google Synch with a dear friend, and the only glitch we’ve had is that every so often, one of us can no longer see the other’s calendar. It’s almost as if Google hiccups. Within a day things are back to normal. It doesn’t matter so much to us, but it would bug me if I were using it professionally.

So, professionally, I use a hosted Exchange server service (Mailstreet.com). It’s never failed me, and I’ve been using it for nearly five years.

Great blog–kudos for writing!

Stacy

I use Google Calendar w/ Outlook sync too and LOVE it!!! I have not had any problems with it at all. My husband and I use the Google Calendar to enter both of our work schedules, our appointments, the kid’s stuff, etc. so we don’t double book, then we both sync Outlook to our mobile phones. The one thing I don’t like is that you can’t sync more than one Google Calendar yet, but supposedly they are working on that. If you’re (readers of this comment) not familiar with Google calendar, you can have more than one calendar; say one your whole family uses (like ours) and then a business calendar, and you can choose which calendars you want to view and which calendar you want to enter appointments and such in. Right now Google calendar can only sync one calendar with Outlook. I will be glad when they can sync more than one. Then, for me and my business, it will be a great tool! Right now, it’s a great tool for family scheduling because we have all of our stuff on one calendar.
