1. A method for maintaining a calendar of a user, comprising:

  • accessing an online profile of the user at a first social networking website;

    identifying, on the online profile, a first post referencing a physical location,wherein the first post is created on the first social networking website by a client application of the user on a first calendar date, andwherein the first post comprises a timestamp of the first calendar date;

    identifying, on the online profile, a second post referencing the physical location,wherein the second post is created on the first social networking website by the client application of the user on a second calendar date, andwherein the second post comprises a timestamp of the second calendar date;

    calculating, by a computer processor and based on the timestamp of first calendar date and the timestamp of second calendar date, a first time period between user visits to the physical location;

    estimating, based on the first time period between user visits, a future calendar date when the user is expected to visit the physical location;

    creating, in the calendar, an event scheduled to occur at the physical location and on the future calendar date;

    determining, after the future calendar date and based on the first social networking website and a second social networking website, that the user did not visit the physical location on the future calendar date;

    identifying, on the first social networking website, a third post referencing the physical location, wherein the third post is entered by the user on a third calendar date, wherein the third post comprises a timestamp of the third calendar date, and wherein the third calendar date is after the future calendar date;

    calculating a modified first time period between user visits based on the third calendar date;

    estimating, based on the modified first time period between user visits, a new future calendar date when the user is expected to visit the physical location; and

    creating, in the calendar, a new event corresponding to the new future calendar date.
