From time to time I stumble upon a tech tool that I find so handy that I simply must share it with you. Today that tool is Doodle.com.

Doodle makes scheduling meetings easier for small business owners and entrepreneurs who have to schedule meetings with clients, partners and suppliers that are not on a shared calendaring system (such as Outlook) without the aid of an executive assistant. It’s time-consuming to say the least, not to mention the distraction of dozens of back-and-forth emails while you try to nail down a date.

Doodle first prompts you to select your target dates. Then you select any number of times for each day. When your poll is ready, all you do is share a link with your guests and ask them to select their availability and preferences. Everyone can see the results and registration is optional. No muss, no fuss.

Scheduling in a Snap

You can sync Doodle with your calendar, import a  poll into your blog or website, and use the tool from your smart phone. There are even options for custom branded pages but the basic free tool meets my needs perfectly. Be it professional or social scheduling, Doodle does it in a snap.
