Google could introduce an “offline-calendar-access” feature and may bundle this with its Desktop Tool. Updates can be Synched when users gets online.

Maybe Google is going to let others weave a social system on top of the calendar.

The subscription to Upcoming feed does not seem to work for me. have tried multiple times – I seem to have problems with the webcal format.

Simply search on their Google Account email address. If they have shared their calendar, you can then see it as an overlay. I agree that its still some way from upcoming.org in social networking terms, but then try using upcoming as a collaborative calendar (-; However, watch out for what people weave on top of Calendar using the API

Something else you can do to combine the power of both apps is to subscribe to your upcoming feed from within Google Calendar (tip use the webcal: address format)
