Thanks for the comments. Calendar is the next one to try.

As for the question Should they use it for ‘confidential’ communication, I like your answer. I’d add to it by saying that you should treat an e-mail like you would a postcard, not like a registered letter.

Yesterday, someone asked me if they should be worried about security of their data being in Google Mail. Should they use it for ‘confidential’ communications. My answer was “Who do you trust more? Google or the people running your current mail server?” They thought about it for a second and said “Google.”

Have you tried Calendar? create multiple calendars and share each with whoever you want. Check out http://www.troop701.org/ and see how we’re using it.

Blogger? Free & VERY easy to use - and allow collaboration on your blog.

Browser Sync - if you are using Firefox, you’ll love this one! Sync your bookmarks between all your computers! Also - restore the pages you were looking at when you quit Firefox last - on any computer w/ Browser Sync installed.

Picasa - is a nice and EASY photo editing program that does a real good job of helping you ‘manage’ all the photos on your computer - then of course, you can upload and share them as well. This is one of the only programs that I’ve been able to actually improve a bad photo.
