Happy Birthday BusySync and welcome BusyCal

Today is BusySync's second birthday!

We've come a long way in the two years since the first release of BusySync.

BusySync 1.0 allowed iCal users to share calendars with each other over a local area network with full read/write access. BusySync 2.0 added the ability for users to sync iCal with Google Calendar.

As we enhanced and refined BusySync over the years, we came to realize that we couldn't make it much better without having full control over both the syncing engine (BusySync) and user interface (iCal). That's when we set our sights on a higher goal — to build a desktop calendar that combines the functionality of BusySync and iCal in one integrated app.

I'm happy to report that we reached that goal with the recent release of BusyCal 1.0. BusyCal wouldn't be here today if it weren't for the groundbreaking work and years of refinement that went into BusySync.

Happy Birthday BusySync and thanks for giving birth to BusyCal!
