RSS Calendar

August 1st, 2004

I’ve been waiting for something like RSS Calendar to be created for a very long time. Here’s the details:

“RSSCalendar is an exciting new way for individuals and organizations to share their calendars with family, friends, and colleagues - utilizing the latest in “Really Simple Syndication” (RSS) technology, including RSS channel creation and aggregation. Not only is RSSCalendar easy to use but it is also easy to administer, and setup is a snap. RSSCalendar is well-suited for a variety of uses, including:

* Individual calendars
* Company calendars
* School calendars
* Organization calendars
* Team calendars
* City calendars”

Imagine what libraries can do with this technology. Not only can they easily set up a calendar, but their patrons can grab the RSS Feed of the events and read about them in their aggregator. This can also be used for librarians to communicate with each other about events, meetings, etc. I’m going to try this out tonight… (link via Michael Fagan’s Del.icio.us Bookmarks)
