Import birthdays of friends from Facebook into Google Calendar?

Question

Is there an easy way to import birthdays from my friends in Facebook into my calendar in Google?

Bonus points if it's possible to keep the birthday events automatically in sync (e.g. when I add new friends on Facebook, etc.).

Answer 1

Sign in to Facebook and go to your Birthday Events. Clicking on the button with the magnifying glass, you will see an option to “Export Birthdays...”

The Export Birthdays dialog will give you a URL which you can then add to Google Calendars, iCal, Outlook or whatever your favourite calendar application is.
