VentureBeat wrote up an article about our new future tab and let everyone in on the secret that we are supporting Google Calendars as a way to bring your future status into quub.

“And people often have a good idea what their future status will be, too. I already know that I’m going to be in a meeting at the VentureBeat office at 4pm today, so why should I have to wait until that time to enter that as my status, or to let my friends know I’m going to be busy? Quub’s new “future” tab means I can enter that information now, either manually or by importing it from my Google Calendar.”
