GMail Updated With The Links Bar And Calendar Integration
With the release of Google Calendar, many people were awaiting the integration with GMail. Well, it is now available and can be found whenever you start to compose a message or receive a message with a date in it.
When you begin to compose a message you will see a link on the right side of the screen that says “Add Event Info”. This link will allow you to enter in the details of the event that you are inviting the recipient to. When the recipient receives the email it will appear as an invitation that they can decide whether they will attend, might attend, or will not attend the event. If they decide that they will or might attend the event then it will be added to their calendar.
Of course, if you don’t add the event information into the email directly then GMail will still offer the option for the user to add it to their calendar once GMail finds a date located in the body of the email. However, by not including the event information directly you will not be able to keep track of the attendance count.
Lastly, there is the Links Bar in the upper-left corner of the screen with direct links to the Google Calendar, Google Homepage, and GMail. Eventually this should be customizable as we saw it would be earlier in the year.

I like the idea but I just tested on my own accounts and there is no linking or adding events to calendars from gmail…
This looks like a legit screen shot but it’s not in my gmail account yet.
its not been implemented for all users just yet. should be enabled in a couple of weeks for most users.
No digg effect yet for this blog
Not seeing this yet either. Can’t wait for the links bar, as it was pointless before existing only on the calendar.
just because you get this feature, not mean that everyone else get it
it’s kinda fake news for rest of us
From that point of view, kalphegor, any news about GMail is fake news to people who don’t have GMail accounts. This is definitely newsworthy.
they will pobably roll this feature out over the next few weeks - just like they did for the chat feature.
Yes, they said that they will be rolling out the feature which I didn’t initially realize because everyone I talked to already had it.

While the page is nice having all the Google Links on one page, I think that Simply Google has already covered this and some. It is still good anyways.
