Scheduling a meeting is difficult because syncing schedules is difficult.
Enter Timebridge.com and Tungle.me.
No doubt many others have compared these (cf. this one), but here is my personal review.
Timebridge.com
+Like the ability to plan the agenda
+Like the ability to assign action items
+Like the easy-to-use response piece:
Timebridge Response
+Like the informative meeting reminder email (with Agenda and Action Items included) automatically sent to attendees. Very clean and professional looking. In addition, I find the simple “Download to Calendar” piece more pleasing than Tungle.me’s implementation (which works well in Gmail, but not so well in Yahoo! Mail):
Timebridge's "Download to Calendar"
-Don’t like the fact that I have to invite attendees through the Timebridge.com interface. Why don’t they give me a unique URL to which I can personally point potential attendees (ala Tungle.me)? The good news is that when they send it, the email appears to come for your primary email address.
-Don’t like the fact that invited users might feel they need to register after responding to an invitation:
-Don’t like the fact that pleas to upgrade abound
Tungle.com
+Like the custom URL that I can personally send out to invited attendees
-Don’t like the fact that no reminder emails are sent out
Summary
Although my review of Timebridge is shorter, Tungle is a solid service and the custom URL could be a tipping point.
Thanks for taking the time to make the comparisons. Helps in deciding which to use in the future.
I think Timebridge now has a custom url, something like meetwith.me/username.
