Somebody recently tried to share a calendar they have in Microsoft Outlook with me by using a webcal .ics link. Adding the calendar to Google calendars is quite easy (see the screenshot below - make sure you swap webcal:// for http://), but Google is
very picky about making sure the construct of the calendar is valid - unlike Outlook!
So if you need to find out why Google calendars won't load it, use this great
ics validator tool.
Adding the calendar:
Nice idea, but my ICS files validate with this tool and still get rejected by Google with no explanation other than 'processed 0 events'. Having experience of Froogle and it's appalling 'go figure it out yourself, we're not going to tell you what we baulked at' approach, I suppose I should really expect this.
