fbCal.com - Calendars For Facebook

fbCal is a tool that will let any member of the popular networking site create and add both birthdays and events calendars in iCalendar format. In practice, that means the resulting calendar will be compatible with each and every program that uses iCalendar files such as Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Sunbird. Besides, this service already offers support for RSS feeds, so that is other context in which the data could be accessed that is taken into consideration.

As it was just explained, using this service you will be capable of creating two different types of content calendars: for birthdays and for events. There are also two types of delivery options available: subscription and download. The former is updated in real-time (IE, when there is a change in your Facebook status), and the latter entails a download in order for you to have accurate results.

The site is very clear when explaining how to use this solution to complement others like Google Calendar and Apple iCal. The plugins that are necessary in specific cases (such as the one for using fbCal with Oulook 2003) can be procured on the site effortlessly, too.

“fbCal was created by mixin.com for Facebook users to be able to create birthday calendars of all of their Facebook friends, as well as events calendars from Facebook events. The calendar that is generated is in iCalendar format, and they may be subscribed to in all programs that can use iCalendar files. This includes Apple iCal, Mozilla Sunbird, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook. fbCal now offers RSS feeds, as well!”

Those looking into having a more organized Facebook experience can count on such a service.

What is the direction this service should be headed now?
