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.”
Additional Features
- Add multple timeslots for each selected date.
- 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.

I recommend http://www.scheduleonce.com – it supports meeting across different time zones.
Thanks, will definitelly check it out.
Don’t forget Meetomatic, “World’s Simplets Meeting Scheduler’”!
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/
Thanks for sharing. We have already covered TimeBridge @ TimeBridge : Automated Meeting Scheduler
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!
