Google Calendar was released two weeks ago and we are already seeing some really interesting ways to make use of the sharing function. (If you are not aware, you can mark events on your calendar as public so other people can see what is going on and when you are busy and free).

Clinical Cases suggested that doctors make use of this function. Doctors can make their calendars public (just the appointment times not any personal information) so you can see the availability and compare it to yours when scheduling an appointment.

Lifehacker suggested that the color coded feature can allow people with medical issues to track their well being over time. This can also be expanded to tracking your diet. (You can also do this in Outlook and others, but it is nice if you want to share it with a trainer or doctor).

Finally for you techies out there, TruePath Technologies really displays the possibilities when using the sharing function paired with categories and chat to plan outages and service on network servers.

We would love to hear what other ways do you plan to share your time with people?
