I like both the feed and the full view.  One nit - after adding 
the event to my cal it shows up twice.  It would be better if
the system detected that as duplication and only showed on,
perhaps with an asterisk to denote its "accepted" status or any
other flagging. Perhaps I'll submit that to google as an
enhancement.
