Will Tungle Kill “Reply All” Scheduling?
I don’t know about you, but one of the things that drives me positively NUTS is trying to schedule a conference call or meeting via email.
You know what I’m talking about: the dreaded “reply all” emails. You’re given a list of five or six different day/time options and asked for your availability.
You go back and forth between your calendar depending on how quickly or often people reply. And there’s inevitably at least one person who replies so late that all your open slots are now closed.
And then it starts all over again. What a nightmare.
I stumbled on Tungle a few months ago via Twitter and I LOVE it. It’s a great little application that integrates with your calendar, and you can basically select several different options and then invite people to choose the ones that work for them.
When everyone’s made their selection, the meeting is automatically scheduled (or you can opt to have Tungle notify you and then confirm the meeting) – and voilà. It’s in your calendar, and your work is done.
