Activate Google Calendar Suggestions

One of the exciting new ways that we’re trying to integrate “micro-presence” into your everyday life is by connecting quub to Google Calendars.  In order to do this, click on the “Settings Tab” on the upper-right of the web interface, then activate your Google Calendar Account by clicking on the link above the “Save” button.  This will start a wizard on Google’s site that allows quub to access your calendar data.  If you change your mind in the future, just return here to disable the calendar link.

But what can this do for you?  Well basically it allows quubie to give you suggestions from your calendar.  So, if you are already using Google Calendar (or something else that syncs a desktop calendar to Google Calendar like “Spanning Sync” on the Mac) then you don’t have to do anything new to get really accurate suggestions from quubie.  Here’s an example:

I put “seeing District 9″ in my Google Calendar for tonight at 8:30pm, and use the location field on Google Calendar to enter “at the downtown theater”.  Sometime around 7:15pm or so I pull out quub on the iPhone.  “Great Hera!” What does the iPhone quub app suggest that I send to my quub groups and my Twitter Feed?  “at the downtown theater seeing District 9″

Easy, schmeasy.
