International Law

Only a few hours ago I was complaining to my sister that I couldn't export Facebook events to my calendar, so I was thrilled to read Duncan Riley's review of fbCal:

fbCal is a Facebook application that allows users to export date specific information from Facebook to external calander services including Apple iCal, Mozilla Sunbird, Google Calendar, and Microsoft Outlook.

To setup, users add the fbCal application via the fbCal page here. The app setup is simple, you tick that you give permission for the app to access you Facebook data. Next the app offers links to that data that can be added to the calendar tools listed above.

To setup with Apple iCal, you go to subscribe in the Calendar drop down menu then copy and paste the URL?s provided by fbCal. There are two URL?s, one for user birthdays and the other for Events. And that?s pretty much it. Immediately you have desktop access to all relevant events, including all supporting info such as time, location and description from Facebook. As it?s a subscription pull it also automatically updates with future events.

Read it here.  I have installed it and it seems to be working superbly.
