Ah! That's just like a side project my old startup and I had called "Fready." Basically Fready gives you news on the people you are meeting with before you meet with them. It uses NLP to pull out any names/companies/locations from a google calendar event to give you pretty relevant news. Here is an old blog post about it: http://blog.getfready.com/ Perhaps we should have pitched it at our YC interview...

Unfortunately I took it down recently but it might be a good time to bring it back.
