Lotus Notes inventor Ray Ozzie seems to share one of my pet peeves
Each fall, as I manually enter the entire Celtics season schedule, my company’s holidays and my childrens’ school calendars into my own personal calendar, I am again reminded how ridiculous it is that The Net has not yet ubiquitously embraced the everyday exchange of virtual objects so basic as calendars and as vCards – which can also likewise be subscribed-to, aggregated into Contact Lists and auto-updated via personal RSS feeds. Bizarre.
Ironically, in a few minutes searching, I found this iCal shared Celtics schedule. I’m not sure of the details, but iCal is ostensibly based on open standards, so it seems that Ozzie should be able to use this one.
