NudgeMail Can Now Control Your Google Calendar

This is one of those little tricks that’s bound to be a total life saver for some people, while the rest of you will read this and never think of it again. NudgeMail, which currently helps users send themselves reminders in the future–for instance, you can forward an email you don’t want to deal with until next month to feb1@nudgemail.com and get it sent to you again then–has turned on a feature to control Google Calendar from within email.

So now, if you hook up your Google Calendar to NudgeMail, you can send an email to the service with the subject line of something you want to schedule, like “nextweek:get brakes checked,” and it will appear in your calendar. Learn a tiny bit of NudgeMail syntax, and you don’t have to click over to your calendar and add the event directly.
