   @jrconlin @mhoye @karenmcgrane and I sometimes refer to it as “seventeen web sites in a trench coat”

     @jrconlin It's kind of amazing to wonder sometimes what they might be able to accomplish, if any two teams at Google ever talked to each other.

     You know, it's always fun to talk to junior or non-tech folk and explain to them that big companies are really a loose confederacy of smaller ones that all use the same badge to get into the cafeteria.

     TIL:
     If you send out a meeting invite to a mail list, clicking on the '"Yes" or "No" I will attend' button tries to add the mail list (not you, the mail list recipient) to the meeting, which generally errors out.

     If you plan on attending a meeting that's being held a month ago, and you are part of a mail list that got an invite. DO NOT ASSUME CLICKING "YES" MEANS THAT YOU GET A CALENDAR REMINDER! You gotta do that manually, it turns out.

     Gmail + Gcalendar is very clever, that way.
