Some time back I had written about ways to enhance use of Windows Calendar & Live Calendar in this post. I mentioned about how to import Facebook birthdays & events into Live Calendar & Windows Calendar. However, recently I saw that the Facebook application I used has changed itself for the worse & Live Calendar won’t import anymore. Considering Windows Calendar is no more in Windows 7 (bundled with Live Mail) here is an update to get your Facebook events into Live Calendar:
It has become a bit easier for importing your Events, I’m still figuring out how to import the birthdays. To import the Events:
-
Go to Facebook homepage.
-
Right sidebar, select Events.
-
On the top you will find Export Events, click and copy the link.
-
Go to Live Calendar.
-
Choose ‘Subscribe’ & paste the link, name the calendar to whatever you want.
-
Done.
~Happy Eventing!

Live Calendar sucks man, does not have a single feature that can make it stand out from the rest. While iCal is creating a standard in Web.

Well, that standard thing is taken care of by Outlook.
