Doodle : Quick Meeting Planner

If you have ever tried to schedule a get-together or figure out a suitable meeting time with a group of people, you probably know that it can take a dozen of back and forth emails and phone calls before you find the perfect date and time. Next time you need to schedule a meeting, try Doodle: it’s simple, fast, and doesn’t require any sign-up.

How does Doodle work?

  • 1. Create a poll with your proposed meeting or event times.
  • 2. Forward the link to the poll to the attendees.
  • 3. Follow-up online what the participants vote for.

    Lifehacker: “Doodle is fast, free, and easy–just the way we like things around here.”

  • Optional: Receive an email message each time somebody participates in or withdraws from your poll.
  • Important: Make sure to keep the link so you can later review the poll.
  • Edit and delete polls anytime later.
  • No registration or email required.

Definitely agree, can’t be any simpler. I would say it’s as good as Doodle. Thanks for the link, it’s going to MUO directory. ;-)

For business meetings, do not forget TimeBridge http://www.timebridge.com
They integrate into Outlook, Google and Macs’ calendars, so you do not need to flip back and forth. They even let you share availability. See full review at http://webworkerdaily.com/2008/03/07/timebridge-makes-meeting-scheduling-easy/

It’s a nice chart. Simplicity rules.

WhichWeekend.com does a similar thing but is geared towards friends working out which weekend people are free on – like the name suggests!

Disclosure: I made it.

Thanks for the link, just checked it out and it looks pretty good. I will do my best to add it to MUO directory within the next week.

GatherGrid is simpler than ScheduleOne: http://www.gatherGrid.com

Attendees can select a time from a simple calendar view instead of a confusing list. They also donate a percentage of ad revenue to the charity of your choice!
