b-day agent

b-day agent project is not going well. After the good start with the facebook application, I got stuck in the orkut rules. It’s so easy and exciting to create application for facebook, but the google way is so hard and boring. The worst and more frustrating was to find that orkut doesn’t provide you an interface to extract birthday from your contact list. Instead of that, you can create a calendar mark in your Google Calendar and see everything there. It’s so pathetic that Google has to lock up the user data and obligate the users to use its suite. Google can do better than it.
b-day agent need to be smarter know to extract daya from Google Calendar, but I think that it’s too much effort for a toy application. Project is suspended by now. When I have my easy way to create agents, I come back to work on it.
