Google calendar is a very powerful web-based calendar and task manager. It allows you to view multiple calendars, yours as well as other together; plan meetings, view others’ schedules etc. That is the reason it is very popular among its users.

On the other hand, Facebook is the most popular social networking site on the internet. Almost anybody who is active on the internet has a Facebook account. Facebook has a huge database of our friends’ birthdays. It would be very convenient it one could see all those birthdays in the GoogleCalendar itself as that would help users to integrate it with their other schedules.
