Dopplr subscribes to your Yahoo! Upcoming calendar
We’ve added another way to get your trips into your Dopplr. If you check your Calendars and Events account page you’ll now see the option to associate your Dopplr account with your Upcoming account. After you do that, we’ll scan your Upcoming regularly and add trips for any event you’ve marked as Attending — as long as it’s outside your home city.
We’ll remember that the trip came from Upcoming and display a link to the event page wherever we show the trip. You can see this right now on my public profile on my trip to Amsterdam to attend the Picnic conference.
Don’t forget you can also use the same account page to subscribe to internet-connected calendars like Google Calendar, and to push calendars from clients like Apple iCal.
Nice! It works a treat. It still refers to the Dopplr app as (development only) though, so I’m guessing you need to change your app registration details.
That’s great !
Love it. You guys should hook up with tripit or simpatigo and really offer something valuable.
Lachlan, thanks for noticing the wording. Once you’ve associated an Upcoming account with Dopplr you never see that screen again (and I can’t find a way to get back there) so it’s a long time since I saw the wording. I’ve just changed our application registration details so it should be fine from now on.
Matt.
Great, especially when you pay attention with the attending problem. ;) Question: Is it ’synced’ in a way that if I modify the dates in dopplr it will duplicate? Most of the times I am travelling days before / after that to an event and would like to keep it that way. :)
No worries, Matt. Great work!
