I am confused what is the difference between Google Task and Google Calendar?
Initially I thought I wanted to use Google Calendar but now I realize that I want to use Google Task.
They even have different APIs. This just confuses me:
Google Task API: http://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/wiki/APIs#Tasks_API
Google Calendar API: https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v2/developers_guide_dotnet
What is the difference between them?

I've been searching on the internet for the difference between Google Analytics and Firebase Analytics, with little to no success.
Could anyone help me understand how they are connected? Are they even connected or are they absolutely separate services? Is Firebase Analytics based on Google Analytics?
I would really appreciate if someone could help me wrap my head around this. Thanks a lot. ;)
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google. Google analytics requiers that users add a js tracking code to their website in order to send page hits to Google Analytics. Google analytics also supported mobile analytics though android and IOS sdk's which sent Screen hits to google analytics. There was a difference between Mobile and web google analytics accounts.
Firebase is a platform developed by Google for creating mobile and web applications. Firebase introduced Firebase Analytics which would allow for analytics across Firebase applications. Analytics was preformed on the usage of the firebase account and applicatons running on it.
Google analytics GA4 as of writing was very recently released. GA4 allows for analytics across both web and mobile applications. Using again a snippit. Its worth noting that GA4 tracking methods is vastly different from Google analytics even the property types are different, the management api, and the metadata api.
The main difference between Google analytics and Firebase analytics is that they are two different applications. Each application measures difffent things.
Although it is early days it is now possible to link GA4 and Firebase, this blurs the lines between the two systems. This is still alpha and as of writing it has yet to be seen how well this will work.

My understanding from it is that Firebase Analytics became Google Analytics for Firebase which is now Google Analytics 4. The original Google Analytics was useful for tracking website analytics, but not designed for app analytics. This is where Firebase Analytics came in. Now, the most recently released Google Analytics 4 measures BOTH website traffic and app usage.
Just curious if its possible, since Google analytics and Google analytics for firebase seems to be two different things. It would be convenient to see analytics for all my projects at the same place.
This is not possible at the moment, however you can see data collected by all the Firebase apps present in a project in a single dashboard.
Firebase data can flow into Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager but vice versa is not possible.
Experts,
I've few questions around Firebase Analytics and Google Analtytics.
I've used GTM containers to pass custom events from firebase to google analytics - it works fine. However,
- number of events that I see in Firebase console is different than Google analytics. Would you know why?
- Similarly, number of users in firebase console is different than google analytics - would you know why?
GTM TAG EVENT SETUP
Thanks .
I have implemented Firebase and GTM as well and the event counts and number of users for the last 7 days were not exact, but quite similar (off by 50 out of 7500 for users).
Some screenshots of the numbers would help and also screenshots of GTM tag setup.
I have some google analytics events on my site, and have now started using Google Adwords. Adwords normally uses goals not events to show conversion rates, but can I somehow use my events instead to see conversions?
Yes. You need to make two simple steps to use Google Analytics events as conversions in AdWords :
Create Goal in analytics for your events. You need to use custom
goal and event as Goal Type. Check the Google Analytics guide.
Import your goals to AdWords. That's pretty easy process and AdWords
has a manual for this. You'll just need your AdWords and
Analytics accounts to be linked.
I am looking for a streaming/real-time API for Google Analytic any source of reference or documentation ?
It is. Now Google has launched new Real Time API for Google Analytics. This API is very similar to Google Analytics API. Which extracts the Google Analytics real time data in the given dimensions and metrics
To start development on this API, you can get API parameters from here
