It has been a while since the launch of Google Calendar. And it was one of the most anticipated lauches that Google has made, and also a product that most people agreed at the time was a very good one.

So now the buzz has died down, who is still using it?

I have a few items (World Cup games.. :)) stored in mine and I guess I look at it every so often. I don't use it all the time though, and I have never used any of the integration features with Gmail (sending an event, or accepting an event).

I'm using it too. But remember, a calendar is the type of thing that people use in different and various ways. For example, I hardly login to Google Calendar, except to set a new scheduled event; mainly, I just follow my alerts in gmail or on my cell phone to keep on track with my schedule. And it's not the type of App that will have the sort of fanfare like say Gmail or Search.

I use it all the time! I haven't missed one day since the launch on April 12 without entering my schedule.

I use it when I see the link on my school e-mail account (GM script). Apart from that I use it when I have nothing else to do.

I use it *regularly*. Mostly just to see if there's any new feature there or test some bug and stuff.

I use it also. I have some public calendars attached to it. I can see the calendar of my wife ;-) & for the family we have created a shared calendar of birthdays.

Some toolbar functionality would be great indeed.
Integration of contacts & birthdays would be interesting.
And more european orientation (c.f. mobile access) would be nice too.

I didn't manage to get alerts in my e-mail yet, but that was probably just a setting that is wrong.

I'm using it and so's my girlfriend. We both have individual calendars and share another one. This way, we know exactly who's doing what and when! No more double booking!
