Our team took a break from normal development to put together something simple, useful, and fun. Our goal was to get it finished and out the door in one day.
Introducing: Fready ("fresh and ready": http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fready)
Fready syncs with your google calendar, pulls out names, companies, and locations from the title and description of an event, and injects google news and search results about them back into the event. Fready is a great way to stay informed with very little effort.
It will not modify events that have invited guests, and you can turn it off at any time by visiting your Google authorized sites page: https://www.google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens?hl=en
Fready is completely free and will stay that way for the foreseeable future. I hope you enjoy our simple app!
