Address Book plugin for Google Calendar
Mark Scrimshire has written two plugins for Address Book that automatically add information about a particular contact into a Google Calendar event.
As Mark explains 
:
The biggest drawback with Google Calendar has been the one-way limitation. I wanted to be able to easily add information to my calendar without having to re-type.
Installation is easy. Download Mark’s two scripts and install them in your ~/Library/Address Book Plug-ins folder.
Quit and relaunch Address Book, then Control-click on the phone or address tab or the contact you want to schedule a meeting with or call.
Select the “Create Call on Google for…” or “Create Google Meeting for… at…” option:
The script then pre-populates a Google Calendar event with phone numbers and addresses for the contact:
I can see how this would save a lot of time.
Google Calendar Add utility is donation-ware (USD 10 suggested) and is available from Mark’s web site .

Nice idea - but really what is needed is a way to link apple mail to google calendar - I get emails all the time like ” remember we need to meet at 2pm on friday” So I want to click on something that will add this to my google calendar directly - rather that by hand launching calender going to the date and typeing in the info.
Do you have anything like this ?

I don’t. The closest thing I can think of is something like Spanning Sync which syncs iCal and Google Calendar. Then you just pipe stuff into iCal from Mail and let Spanning Sync do the heavy lifting into GCal. Note the Leopard Problems though:

Sounds great. Will it work with Firefox? What if gcal is already running?
