Active Data Calendar also launches ability to update personal calendars automatically.
(Bethlehem, PA – Oct. 14, 2009) – Tapping into the ability to perform event marketing across social networks, Active Data Calendar has added the capability to publish and share events across social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, and others through the AddThis® interface. Event marketers can take advantage of organic social media penetration without the overhead of redundant keystrokes and paid advertising.
Calendar visitors can easily share events with all of their friends and followers across multiple networks, who can then share it with their own Web 2.0 networks. Another new feature allows for visitors to subscribe for automatic updates of events by category to their personal calendar, such as Outlook, Google, Notes, GroupWise, and others. “Everything revolves around dates and times. The expansion of our Active Data Calendar product suite into a publish once, everywhere you want model addresses the need for proactive information retrieval for content that everyone takes for granted – date related info,” said Susan Yee, CEO of Active Data Exchange.
New features in the Active Data Calendar 3.9 suite of products include:
- Social media integration using AddThis®, which allows site visitors to add event data to 150+ social media sites
- Choose which social media sites visitors can use to share events with the AddThis® interface
- Customize the look of the AddThis® interface including colors, buttons, menus, etc.
- Support for dynamic iCal subscription feeds of event data
- Automatically add event data from any calendar view to iCal compatible personal calendar software (MS Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Lotus Notes, etc.)
- Changes made in Active Data Calendar will automatically be reflected on all personal calendars that are subscribed to that iCal feed (http://webcal)
- Available integration with the payment gateway TouchNet
- Payment tracking and associated workflow for payments by cash and check
- Facility keyword searching and improvements to automated workflow e-mails in the Open Entry Module
Active Data Calendar 3.9 is compatible with the latest Microsoft® technologies including Windows 7® and Microsoft Server 2008 R2® and has been given the “Front Runner” status by Microsoft® to signify early adoption of the latest Microsoft® technologies.

On the CalConnect Roundtable of May 26th the new xCal document was published. The iCalendar data format is a widely deployed interchange format for calendaring and scheduling data. While many applications and services consume and generate calendar data, iCalendar is a specialized format that requires its own parser/generator. In contrast, XML-based formats are widely used for interoperability between applications, and the many tools that generate, parse, and manipulate XML make it easier to work with than iCalendar. xCal is an XML-compliant representation of the iCalendar standard. xCal is not an alternative nor next generation of iCalendar. xCal represents iCalendar components, properties and parameters as defined in iCalendar.
