37signals Product Blog: Create Backpack reminders via e-mail/SMS
37signals Product Blog: Create Backpack reminders via e-mail/SMS:
For those fans of 37Signals Backpack (I’m one of them!) – a great script that adds reminders when offline. I’m going to revisit Backpack, I’m having iCal issues and I think this might be a great stop-gap until I can get them straightened out.

Spanning Sync – v1.o Released!
Spanning Sync, which connects Google Calendars to iCal, has released V1.0 and it’s pricing structure today.
I’ve been a part of the Spanning Sync beta team for the last four months and have really watched this product grow. The team is really responsive and I’m sure that support (as with any V1.0 product) will be focused and quick.
How this has impacted what I do each day: My schedule is basically full with appointments 2 (or even 3) weeks out. My team is unable to schedule project reviews, client meetings, etc., without checking with me and my availability first. This way I’m able to give them access to my Google calendars which update with Spanning Sync every 10 minutes. This has really allowed my team to schedule meetings, etc quickly, be responsive to our clients, all without needing immediate access to me and my computer.
Spanning Sync also has a discussion group and a development blog. Both have been helpful.
