CLEVELAND, Jan. 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As we begin the New Year the first thing many of us will do is pull out our calendars and begin organizing ourselves for the months ahead. In fact, the tool has become so integral to our lifestyles that it can be found on refrigerator doors, sprawled across our desks, and in convenient locations such as Blackberries and other portable devices. This year, those looking to coordinate important dates and celebrations can even do so on Facebook with the popular Birthday Calendar application, recently named one of the top 10 Facebook apps by Techprone.com, from American Greetings Corporation (NYSE: AM).

The application provides birthday reminders for all your friends and family as well as any important events you want to add, such as weddings or anniversaries. Adding to its convenience, the new Birthday Calendar application lets you commemorate any important date with American Greetings best-in-class e-cards, fun virtual gifts, and a Daily Stamp feature that is updated every day with new content that can be passed along to anyone.

The newest e-cards on the application allow you to import friends' Facebook profiles and pictures right into the greeting for a completely original experience.
