Hi Shana,

Google Calendar has a quota limitation for the number of calendar
operations on a daily basis.  This is in place to prevent spams and
abuses.   If your user base is very large and you expect to support a
huge number of calendar operations on a daily basis, then I would
recommend you to use Google Calendar Data API along with Google Apps.
With Google Apps, you can provision a calendar account per individual
user of your site through the Provisioning API (also a GData API).
This way, your site can grow with the number of users it can support
without running into the quota limitation.

Some usefuls links:

Hope it helps,
Austin
