I use Google Calendar because it sends me SMS alerts for upcoming events, and also is pretty easy to use, on the other hand most of my work and other useful tasks are stored on Outlook, which include official calendar events, meeting reminders and more.

Google Calendar is definitely a great service and having my Outlook synced up with it really helps a lot.
