Setting up online calendar sharing for clients and customers

Today I’ve been looking at some options for how to make my Outlook/Exchange calendar publicly available, so customers and clients can see when I’ll be in their area.

A few good ways I’ve found to do this are below 🙂

1. By publishing your calendar to Office Live.  You can now access online at: https://calendars.office.microsoft.com/pubcalstorage/y9r615bz1213697/Jeff_Everett_Calendar(1).htm

2. You can also let people subscribe to a calendar by having your clients use a Calendar/email viewing probram like Windows Live Mail, Outlook, or even Apple iCalendar and Mozilla Thunderbird.

a. Download the free Windows Live Mail program here, or at http://get.live.com 

b. Subscribing through Office Live (also free!) or through your own WebDAV server.  Here is a link to subscribe to my calendar via Office Live so updates to my schedule will be automatically delivered to your compatible calendar/email program, as mentioned above.  webcals://calendars.office.microsoft.com/pubcalstorage/y9r615bz1213697/Jeff_Everett_Calendar(1).ics

Let me know how this works, I’m curious to hear your feedback!
