With the latest update on Google Calendar, you can now see and be notified when your contact is having a birthday through Google Calendar. Not just that, you can even subscribe to your favorite sports’ events all over the world! These are great new features especially if you use Google Calendar to keep track of your appointments and things to do. I often use Google Calendar to notify me of certain events or things that I need to do (either through an email or a free SMS) so this additional features receive an exciting nod from me.

How to enable contacts’ birthday notification on Google Calendar
Similar like above, but click on the “More” instead of “Sports”.
Easy! Unfortunately, I’m not a Sport fans but I certainly love having my contacts’ birthday on Google Calendar. The only remaining problem is that I need to sync (or add) my friends’ birthday into my Gmail’s contacts…

Hey man, what happened to your pagerank? My tech blog lost it’s PR as well (it was a 2) but im not really sure why :/
Well it’s kinda funny. If you go to those pagerank checker sites, this blog still has a PageRank 3. But if I use the Firefox extension, it’ll show zero.
I checked and it’s because the www has a Pagerank 0 and the one without has a Pagerank 3
Not sure what’s happening.. I’ve tried using 301 on the htaccess like others suggested though
Cool! It’s about time Google Calendar had this feature. Notification by free SMS sounds very nice. Three cheers for Google Calendar!

Yup the free notification is one of the best free feature on the net ^^
That is great – I’m going to see if they have my favorite football team on the calendar. I live by Google calendar. Just when I would normally forget something, I get an email, “Buy present!” or “Pay taxes!” I’m usually not glad to *see* the email, but I’m glad not to forget whatever it was I had to do.

Haha yeah, I depend my life on Google Calendar (such as to remind me to pay for the rent and stuffs). Hopefully the server never goes down…..
But I am not able to set up notification to the sport calendar. The notificacion settings are disable for this calendars.
Could anybody tell us a workaround?
