On first glance I was fairly underwhelmed with what I saw it iCal.  But as I looked at it more and explored what Apple was doing with it I started to see where it could be a very useful application (It is still very much a 1.0 product and needs a bit of work though).<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>The biggest thing iCal lets you do is publish your calendars.  It is set up so that once you have a calendar of events in your life, all you have to do is tell it to publish and it will show up on a web page. Here&#8217;s one that I did for a <a href=\"http:\/\/ical.mac.com\/gblake99\/Changmian47Music32Events\">club calendar<\/a>.  The cool thing is that it is that you can subscribe to calendars that are posted on the net.  These each show up as a different category in your own calendar.  iCal will even go and check to see if these are updated periodicly.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>Upon further researching. I found that Apple used a standard file format for sharing their calendar informaion.  Mozilla <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/projects\/calendar\/\">Calendar<\/a> is another app that seems to support this.  Searching around I found more information on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imc.org\/pdi\/\">the formats for calendars and contact information<\/a>.  Even <a href=\"http:\/\/wmf.editthispage.com\/discuss\/msgReader$7904?mode=day\">MS seems to support these formats<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<p>Now Apple just needs to clean up iCal a little bit more and things will be even better.<\/p>\n<p \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paolo posted about iCal the other day. iCal is the calendaring software that Apple just announced last week.
