How to get your Facebook friend's birthdays in your calendar

By | May 28, 2008

If you’re as geeky as I am you are probably sick of Facebook. No offense to the lovely people behind the social networking Mecca. It’s just that I do most of my socializing on Twitter these days. Aside from managing some client’s ad campaigns on Facebook, managing the RSVP for the Geek Breakfasts and checking birthdays, I don’t have very much reason to log in.

Well now I have one less reason. A person named Vegan Bob has designed a Facebook app (one that’s actually useful) that will transfer your birthdays and events calendars right into your iCal or Gmail Calendar called fbCal.

Now when I log into my Gmail Calendar every morning I have a clear view who’s birthday it is. Thanks for the app Vegan Bob. Oh and Happy Birthday Mick.


Here’s how I can help you?

    thanx for sharing the news about this app. Very useful. The problem is that now I have a certain obligation of congratulating to many people… :-) It's kind of like my friends theory for not having and answering machine/voice mail (who doesn't nowadays). He says, an answering machine will obligate him to call back all these people…

    Cheers, Hans

    Thanks. How are you obliged though?I mean, no one can see your
    calendar unless it's public.

    Cheers,
