Google Apps’ Calendar Has Great Scheduling Feature

Matt told me about a really useful feature in Google Apps, guest and resource scheduling. Turns out if you use Google Apps, when scheduling an event in Google Calendar, you can check if the people you want to go to that event are free, based on their calendars, and if the resources you need are free as well. If the person you want to invite is busy, but for private reasons, you won’t see what it is, you’ll just know they’re not available.
This is a really great integration feature. A similar feature is available in Microsoft Outlook, but I believe it requires an Exchange server, which is pretty expensive.
