google gets sports

Posted on November 1, 2009 6:53 PM about Apple Microsoft and Google | |

Last spring as March Madness wound down, I was trying to brainstorm an iPhone app I could do.

One idea that interested me was around the calendar for basketball games. It is a bit of a manual-pain to track the games.

Of course, I never did anything about the idea but Google now has. You can import the game schedule for sports teams into a Google Calendar. Painless and helpful.

Unfortunately it does not say whether the game is televised or what channel it is on but this is a big help all the same.
