TechCrunch has posted some exclusive screenshots of Google’s upcoming AJAX-powered Calendar web application. Dubbed CL2, Google Calendar is a fairly long way from a public launch and is currently under a very strict private beta.

As expected, Google services such as Gmail will be able to integrate with CL2 and might even feature SMS notifications, that is sending a text message to your mobile phone as a reminder. We’ll have to wait and see what comes of it, but 30 Boxes might have some stiff competition on hand.

ZDNet points out that Google is planning a new online storage space.However, there is one key difference to note about GDrive. GDrive is said to map to your computer like a simple network drive, enabling drag and drop usability.

It would essentially function as a G:\ drive in Windows.

With infinite storage, we can house all user files, including: emails, web history, pictures, bookmarks, etc and make it accessible from anywhere (any device, any platform, etc). We already have efforts in this direction in terms of GDrive, GDS, Lighthouse, but all of them face bandwidth and storage constraints today.

Google has launched their own What You See Is What You Get(WYSIWYG) webpage editor.It’s easy to use and works well on both Internet Explorer and Firefox. Opera is not currently supported.

This new tool is especially useful to those who do not know HTML. The service allows to upload files including HTML documents.

The goal of this project is to give users the tools they need to create static pages rather than ones that are frequently updated like blogger.

If Google’s Page Editor becomes sucessful then the next step by Google might be to offer domain registration and DNS services so people can hook up a domain to their brand new webpage.
