Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: TECHNOLOGY: Anyone else using Google Sites?

I have been using Google Sites (and google pages) for about 4 years now for hosting Digital Callboards. I would have to agree it is a lot easier for the cast if the information is pushed to them. Whenever I move to a new venue they are often hesitant of using the sites but quickly change their minds. Most recently I was in residency and therefore set up a master site for the entire season.
One of the easiest ways I found to push information was to set up the subscribe feature to my own e-mail then with filters and mailing lists it would automatically e-mail everyone on the mailing list. The other way to deal with this problem is have members subscribe to the RSS feeds that google just started to host.
I do remember the problem about google calendars but got it working in the end, I will have to look to remember what I did.
If anyone has any questions or would like to check out my sites just send me a PM and I'll send you the links.
