Chrome: If you've ever looked at an neighborhood calendar and meant to go to an event, or visited a website for a convention or concert but forgot to plan for it, SpotOn.It for Chrome can help. The app intelligently searches sites you visit for events listed, and can add them to your Google Calendar with one click.I've been trying the extension and it works on everything from major events and concerts on popular websites to neighborhood and community calendars. Now, if I want to remember that there's a free movie in the local park this weekend, all I have to do is visit the community calendar, click the button in the Chrome Toolbar, and add the event to my Google Calendar so I'll be reminded in advance. The add-on even lets you know if the event will run up against appointments on your calendar before or afterward.SpotOn.It is actually a service that recommends things for you to do in your area and can fill gaps in your Google Calendar with interesting things in your area, but it's limited to a handful of cities and events at the moment. The Chrome extension has no such limitations, and works on virtually any website, anywhere you live. Plus, you can use the extension to quickly add your own events to your Google Calendar at any time, anywhere—just click the button and choose "Add Custom Event."You'll have to give the service limited access to your Google Account for the service to work, and the extension is Chrome only. Still, if you use your calendar often and want a super-quick way to add events and announcements you see on the web to it for future reference, it doesn't get easier than this.SpotOn.It - Add to Calendar | Chrome Web Store
