If you are one of the hundreds of people who have posted on the Google Calendar Help forums under “Calendar prompting invites to guests when I don’t want them” then you really don’t need to read any further. If you are a user of Google Calendar and haven’t noticed a problem you might want to double check how it is handling your events.

For two months now people have been complaining of Google Calendar inviting unwanted people to their private events when they enter them into Google Calendar. When I create an event on my Nexus One it sends an invite to another calendar I have (and to anyone who is using that if that calendar is shared). Other people have reported that it just invites people from their Google Contacts. This sends up all sorts of privacy concerns, obviously.

Some of you know that I am working on a new website (to be revealed soon) and I was thinking of using Google Docs but until this issue is resolved I cannot, in good faith, make the move. Two months is a long time to wait for a resolution.
