fbCal is a godsend for those who tend to forget birthdays (like me) and rarely log into Facebook anymore (like me) [even when I did, I never really noticed the upcoming birthdays on the homepage anyway]. fbCal (a Facebook-app) generates RSS-/iCalendar-feeds for your friends’ birthdays & your upcoming events on FB, which you then can [...]
connecting the off- with the online, Spanning Sync promises bidirectional synchronisation between (muliple instances of) Apple iCal and Google Calendar. utilizing iSync, the application also syncs up mobilephones and iPods. the downside? after getting you hooked during the 15days free trial, Spanning Sync costs 65 USD once or 25 USD a year, which seems quite [...]
