Well here's a screenshot i got off the domain - calendar.google.com

and apparenty it's got a folder in there called mapfiles whcih does look somewhat like Google Local. So, everyone's talking about the great Google Rumour - that is google calendar or gCal will be released during today's web2.0 conference at Stanford.... will be be seeing a google official mashup of Google Local and rss feeds as featured in Google Base for Google Calendar?
And another interesting
url - so what's google local doing on the google calendar domain?
Well we'll just have to wait and see what Google has in store for us! :-)
Nice find. I linked up your article over at www.searchbuzz.com if you are interested.
It's the same web page as:
http://www.google.com/maps?file=sf&
Currently, 'calendar.google.com' resolves to 'www.google.com', so we can see:
http://calendar.google.com/mapfiles/home.html
http://calendar.google.com/mapfiles/home2.html
http://calendar.google.com/mapfiles/thanksgiving.html
http://calendar.google.com/jobs/
http://calendar.google.com/webmasters/
i.e, every 'www.google.com' webpage has got the same one at 'calendar.google.com'.
This doesn't mean Google is not to launch 'Google Calendar' or something silimar.
UPDATE:
SiliconBeat.com has a post clarifying that GCalendar which was to be unveiled at web2.0 is a hoax & Dan Farber has
blogged more about Google's "rumored calendar" at Between The Lines.
These are working too:
http://desktop.google.com/local?f=d
http://print.google.com/local?f=d
http://directory.google.com/local?f=d
So there seems to be nothing special about http://calendar.google.com/local?f=d
Or, what is google local doing on these domains.
