We just launched KiGoo, a free tool that allows Google users to fully manage (create, read, update and delete) their Calendar and Contacts from MS Outlook.

Also KiGoo manage the Free Busy information of your Gmail contacts for appointments if they shared their FB status.

Currently we support Windows XP and office 2007.

Looks like Calgoo can do the things you discussed. I guess for a power user
synchronizing multiple calendars or a shared calendar will be good - but I
think Google was trying to break into the marketplace and solve a simple
problem first. Feature creep and complications with a system, especially
synchronization, can lead to headaches with users.

I agree with your blog too that someone needs a clearinghouse for calendars
similar to the Plaxo Contacts solution.

Its great to see Google recognize that their users want a sync to a desktop platform and this is a very good start. The sync itself works quite well, many of the people at our office have given it a whirl to see how it all goes.

Unfortunately it does not let you sync multiple calendars or calendars that have been shared with you. You can only sync your default calendar. But hey if someone needs that thats where the 3rd party suppliers come in. We offer a product (Connect) that allows this and there are other companies out there who do this as well, all you have to do is search around a bit.

Cheers!
