A year ago, Gmail added a lab to introduce optional and experimental features. If you were worried about the future of Gmail Labs when Gmail finally...

...came out of beta last week, I think we dont have to worry anymore.

This week, another app that lost its beta status premieres a new Labs feature"Google Calendar. Google Blogoscoped noticed the addition today.

gcallabs

The first Labs features are:

  • Adding a background image
  • Attaching a Google Documents document, spreadsheet or presentation (but you have to share the doc in Gdocs to give others access)
  • World clock so you can see your friends local times
  • Jump to date for faster navigation
  • Countdown clock to your next meeting
  • Your friends status"free or busy (depending on whether theyve shared their calendars with you)

We were initially disappointed with Gmail Labs (and theyve only added a few of our suggestions). What do you think? Could Gcal have chosen better, more useful premiere labs, or is this a good start? Will you use these? What would you like to see added?
