Google Calendar users..This ones for you!

If you didn’t already know… Google has this lovely phone-friendly feature called GVENT.

GVENT is an SMS feature that comes with Google Calendar. If, for example, you can’t remember when, what time, and where your next meeting is, you’re away from your computer and don’t feel like logging onto your Gmail account on your phone, all you have to do is text “next” to GVENT (dial 48368) and you’ll get back the time and details of your next scheduled event.

There are other tricks that you can use… If you want to know your whole day’s appointments, text “day” to GVENT (dial 48368) and you will receive your entire day’s appointments. You can also text “nday” for tomorrow’s appointments.

Finally, the coolest feature about GVENT is that you can type a detailed appointment into your phone and text it to GVENT to be added to your Google Calendar. For example, “Lunch with Cindy at Silver Peak tomorrow at noon.” Text it to GVENT (dial 48368) and it will be added immediately.

Before you start using GVENT, you must configure it for use with your phone. In your Google Calendar, click the Settings link, then choose Mobile Setup. Follow the simple instructions, and you’re set to go!
