@marcinodchyl1@aramiggs Thanks for asking guys!
Google Calendar is great!
CalendarX makes it very easy for users to subscribe to a calendar. With Google Calendar (and other calendars) it's a real hassle. Your average user wouldn't even bother.
With CalendarX you have the opportunity to add custom fields to a subscribe form, which the user can enter prior to subscribing to the calendar. That enables you to know who that subscriber is, where he is from etc.
You also have the option to block a subscriber. Useful if you use it for your company, and an employee left the company - you would want to block him from accessing the calendar.
CalendarX has statistics too. How many people is following your calendar, who un-followed etc.
Last but not least CalendarX has an embeddable calendar as well, which can be custom styled to fit your website design.
@michaelnilsson@marcinodchyl1 thanks for the answer, Michael. The idea of reimagining calendar functionality looks really promissing. Hope this grows into something really Big! Good luck!
Thanks so much Jacob for hunting CalendarX.com.
We are EXCITED to announce that we just launched CalendarX – a calendar your audience can follow.
“When a user follows your CalendarX calendar, you can push your important events to their personal calendar”.
CalendarX is stuffed with kick-ass features and can be used for many different things, e.g. school, sports and event schedules - or promote special deals, grow sales and keep customers returning for more.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
@michaelnilsson So far very impressed. Signed up, added some items and embedded the calendar on my website. Will kick more of the tires of other features but so far so good!
@sethgoldstein Hi Seth, thanks for your feedback. I'm pasting a similar question and response.

@chezacke Hi Chez! Yes it is. We sync external calendars every hour. You can add any external calendar as long as they can provide a calendar feed (.ics file).

Hey guys! Awesome product, I love it. Please add support for the Russian language, me and my team would really appreciate it :) Right now, if we setup the follow page with the text in Russian, it only shows ???????? symbols :( something with fonts I guess
@vasily_kuznetsov Hi Vasily, thanks so much for letting us know. It was tested with a lot of different languages, but they all belonged to the latin character sets. Russian has been added along with (hopefully) any other language.
@MichaelNilsson in the pricing structure, why does it cost anything to have more than 500 followers? Seems like that would hinder growth and make marketers not want to grow the calendar audience.
@thinker Great question Nick!
In our lines of business, the more subscribers you have, the more work (support) we need to take care of. Your users reach out to us before they reach out to you, and we want to make sure that you and your users get a great experience with the service. Being a self-funded company, we need to grow with our users, so that's why the number of subscribers is the scalable factor in CalendarX.
When we started our company we thought we could just put up a good FAQ. Turns out many people prefer one-to-one support.

I really really like this - excited to see how it develops. Feel like there are plenty of not-yet-thought-of possibilities when you bring in the social aspect to calendars.
