Most blogs have a calendar for navigation but not for much else. I was thinking how nice it would be to enrich it automatically with other information like birthdays of people on blogroll, anniversaries, schedule of conferences I am planning to attend, etc.
Size of the calendar will have to get a little bigger, but mouse-over sensitive date specific details can be displayed in an area immediately below the calendar. FOAF and iCal/vCal formats can be useful here. Calendars are also amazing yet under-utilized advertising medium IMHO.
Don writes about something I hadn't even thought about: my calendar. I don't use it and don't see why others would. I read weblogs for two reasons: topical content and continuing stories. I'd be more interested in a good category list rather than a calendar. I'm considering removing mine. Can anyone out there educate me about the calendar's benefits?
