Idea: Export FB birthdays to your Google Calendar and GMail. This will allow me to receive easier birthday updates on my Google Cal, so I can plan ahead of the day or 2 for some of my more important friends' birthdays. Sure I should know it off the top of my head, but I don't really.
Exporting it would not only allow me to plan ahead but also if I could export this info into Google services somehow then I could ping people easier because I send email happy birthdays instead of what has now become so impersonal...the FB post.
Interesting observation: My 'personal' emails on birthdays are so well received by people. We are beyond phones and face to face's. Emailing for a birthday is now personal, at least for acquaintances and pretty close friends. Don't email your wife on her birthday and forget the flowers.
Other thoughts: Not sure if this will happen bc of the GOOG/FB competition and FB's stranglehold on data, but maybe. With FriendCSV app (started by a coke scholar!) on FB you can export all your friend's data...except contact info. So maybe with that CSV and Google...you could import that data into your contacts and make a setting to receive notifications.
But I want a 'Birthday/Anniversaries' etc. Cal on my Goog Cal.

GCal accepts iCal by default, but since this is a static .cal file, you'll need to clear out the calendar and re-upload from time to time.
