I tried a MySpace band page (hoping it would import tour info) and instead got all the comments as "events". Oops. Perhaps you should consider the domain name, it can indicate certain kinds of calendars worth importing.

It's really slow, unless it's also overloaded right now.

This is a hard problem though, and you deserve credit for attempting it.

What you can currently do to get MySpace events is click the "view all" link next to Upcoming Shows on the profile page. The URL of the events-only page will harvest correctly.

You might be onto something with the idea of a rule system to handle things like that automatically... I hadn't considered it before. Thanks!
