How to Sync a Yahoo! Calendar to Google
Both Google and Yahoo! have popular calendar services that integrate with their suite of web applications, like their popular email or news services. Because people use multiple email accounts, often they will have multiple calendars as well. By combining these calendars you can better organize yourself and keep track of events coming in from both services. Since each calendar can produce and read an iCal-compliant version of your calendar, you can easily sync the two services by pointing one at the other's shared iCal URL.
