Till date, Google has not added support to export Orkut Birthday calendar to the personal calendar (Google Calendar) and hence there is no easy way to have the same in Outlook.
Here is a manual way of copying Orkut Birthdays to Google Calendar and Outlook.
(Note, this method allows you to copy only one birthday event at a time to your google calendar)
1. (Skip this step if you already see Orkut Birthday calendar in your Google Calendar) Login to Orkut and add your orkut friend's birthdays to Google Calendar. How to?
2. In Google Calendar, click on the birthday event you wish to copy.
3. If you get a popup, select 'copy to calendar' option. If not, and you get the event details, under 'More Actions', choose the option 'Copy to yourname/emailid'. This will open the event details for editing.
4. Change the 'Repeats' option to yearly if preferred. Edit Reminder options as required.
5. Click Save. The entry will be added to your Google calendar.
6. Now sync Google calendar with Outlook, see how to.

Hi ASIM, I also wrote 'Get Orkut friends' birthday notification by SMS' at http://compupodia.blogspot.com/2009/11/get-orkut-friends-birthday-notification.html
ReplyDeleteLater I noticed that notification facility is available only for Default Calender. Either we need to copy all entries from orkut birthday Calender to Default Calender or discover something so that we can use notification with orkut birthday Calender.
Please mention if you know about how to accomplish this.
