Markthisdate is a Holland-based site that allows you to download the calendars of your favorite events directly to your favorite calendar program and thereby keep tabs on your favorite things. There are a number of calendars to choose from, for example, the Beijing Olympics, and you simply have to click “add to my calendar” when you would like to download the times and dates of an event to your icalendar. You can also add calendars to Markthisdate, something that is especially handy for those looking to self-promote their act. Calendars are categorized into such areas as business, entertainment and holidays and you can simply scan through these categories and pick the calendars that you’d like to download. Those interested in adding their own calendar to their own website can also do so by downloading the widgets provided.

“From the birthdays of our Royals and Bank Holidays from countries all over the world to the complete match schedules of all your favourite football clubs. You can add all these to your calendar in the blink of an eye. If you have (calendars of) events available you can very easily add them to MarkThisDate.”

The service works on all major calendar programs including Outlook and Google Calendar and this is the easiest way of keeping tabs on your favorite events. Big corporations could use this service as a way of better connecting employees and individuals could use this for an array of things including downloading the full schedule of their favorite sports team or musician.

This is one of those simple little services that causes one to question “why didn’t I think of this”. Have they considered approaching professional musicians and sports teams directly and offering this service to them?
