Technology is getting more and more complex, but at the same time, amazing technological benefits are available to us average Joes without too much fiddling around. That is what this column will be covering. Every Monday, right here at BloggingStocks.com, I'll feature an easy-to-use hack, gadget or service that really can make your life better. Geeks, technophiles and early adopters have plenty of other places to look for hot new technologies to try. Here you'll find technology for the rest of us.Over the past few weeks I've taken to online calendars. This wasn't something I'd set out to do, I used to use a calendar that came with my computer's operating system and synced that to my PDA. That got me my calendar on the go and the calendar on my desktop.
Recently I've found it useful to let people have access to parts of my calendar. Friends, family, and business partners might find it easier to be able to check my schedule and see what is going on. For public events that I'm going to be at I even have a feed of my public calendar attached to a sidebar of my personal website.
I can imagine small business owners could see advantages in offering up public calendars so that people could see which times are busy. These online calendars let you create public and private events, or even multiple calendars within your own calendar (so for example, one for home, one for work).
In order to set this up, I waded through a ton of online calendar services and would recommend three of the calendars for first time online calendar users, although I will point out a few more at the end.
