Doodle: Schedule meetings & run polls
Doodle is a great little online tool for scheduling meetings and/or running quick polls. All you need to do is set it up (really easy) & give people the web page address.
Scheduling Meetings
If you’re trying to co-ordinate a meeting with a number of people who are not in the same room, you probably usually have emails going to & fro. Doodle allows you to show a number of possible meeting dates & times on a web page. People click on the times that suit them & you can see at a glance which time suits best. People can make comments & attach files. The best feature is that there’s a timezone drop down box where you simply choose your timezone & Doodle adjusts the meeting times to your zone. (This is particularly useful for me as I’m always co-ordinating meetings with people from different timezones!)
