Does anybody use Google calendar or a similar public calendar extensively? I know Marco does... Are you afraid that bad guys (burglars for example) will take advantage of the info available on your calendar? Does RMS kill a kitten every time you use the Google calendar?
I wonder whether I should create a public RPG calendar for Zürich. Is calendar spam common?
Do you use a separate calendar for every item that is can potentially be shared, eg. one calendar for the book club, one calendar for campaign A, one calendar for campaign B? It somehow seems to make sense to my pendantic inner bureaucrat.
I started a little setup like that and shared the ShackledCity campaign calendars with two other players with Google accounts, and I created a BookClub calendar that I shared with three other book club members. We’ll see how it turns out.

I don’t have any particular concerns about making my life public. I don’t have my own apartment or anything really worth stealing. If people really want to know know the details of my insignificant little life, they’re welcome to them.
Of course, it’s possible to make your calendar public and make certain events private (invisible), or just appear ’busy’ to the outside world.
For me, Google Calendar is a godsend. I move around a lot and have a fairly busy schedule (more than can fit in my little head), so being able to see what I’m doing tonight is great.

Yeah, I’m starting to reach a level where my simple mobile phone calendar is starting to fall behind. Perhaps I can sync my Google calendars with Apple’s iCal, and then sync that with my mobile phone and get the best of both worlds.
Then again, maybe I’ll just waste hours fiddling with stuff. Hm...
