If you're using Google Chrome, chances are good that you've got a Google account and use at least some of their Web apps. If Google Calendar happens to be one of those, you owe it to yourself to install the SpeedDate extension for Google Chrome.

Once you've got it installed and grant permission to submit events to your Google Calendar via OAuth, SpeedDate is ready to serve. Click its icon in your Google Chrome browser actions area and you'll have the option of quick-adding an event to your Calendar or creating one using the date and time you've selected on the current Web page.

During my visit to TSN, for example, I noticed their coverage for the upcoming NHL entry draft listed. I highlighted the time slot for the draft, clicked SpeedDate > Add Event, and the time was automatically filled. The quick add feature works nicely as well -- got a luncheon tomorrow from 1pm-2pm with a client? Type it in just like that, and SpeedDate and Google Calendar will pencil it in for you.

If you count Google Calendar among your must-use web apps and you're browsing with Chrome, SpeedDate will be an extremely handy addition to your browser.
