iCalShare relaunches

After a long absence iCalShare.com has relaunched with new search tools and an improved user interface. iCalShare is a site dedicated to sharing calendars for use in applications like iCal, Google Calendar, or Outlook among dozens of other web and desktop apps. The site contains over 3,500 calendars across 40 different categories from Academics to Television. Calendars are free to download and can be used with any desktop or website application that can import iCalendar files.

How it works: Just search the site for a calendar of your choosing, click "subscribe" and that calendar will automatically be added to your iCal. Since it's a subscription-based calendar, it will automatically update whenever the author edits the calendar. You can also create and share your own calendars on iCalShare for free after registering with the site. Whether you're a Harvard student, a DC Young Democrat, or a movie buff, there's a calendar for you.

iCalShare was first launched in 2002 and spotlighted by Steve Jobs during his 2003 keynote speech. The site was created by Patrick Crowley, a technologist and long-time Mac user.

Mystic:

I just tried to sign up and it worked fine. Maybe they fixed it?

Yeah, we're working on removing the outdated calendars, Colin.

Rather than just deleting everything, we relaunched as-is, so we can give calendar authors a chance to update their old calendars.

People are submitting a lot of awesome new calendars too, so things should be a lot better in a month or two.

Cheers,
Patrick (from iCalShare)

Great re-launch. I can't even sign-up for it.

"3,500 calendars" is true but still misleading. Many of those are for out-of-date and therefore useless sports teams from years ago.
