From an old blog post of mine. Occassions was an app that helped me track birthdays. At the time it all made so much sense. I even call out the app as respectful. Now such practices horrify me.
You can also link Occasions to your Facebook account and everyone who has given Facebook applications the ability to access birthday details will be loaded as well. The application even matches names (or where it can’t suggests matches) between contacts and Facebook. So, you don’t have to double-dip and buy two presents. Respectfully Occasions lets you confirm all matches, automatic or otherwise, and doesn’t just assume. Great if you know two people with the same name. Want more? It imports Facebook avatar pics as well.
