Doodle: Find a time to meet in a flash
For the commitment phobic, finding a time to meet with others just doesn’t get any easier. Just visit Doodle.com and click on “Schedule event.” Without having to register or give any personal information, you can quickly set up an event or meeting with alternative times. Then just send the link to members of your team, and each person (again, without registering), can indicate availability.
Here’s a little video about how to set it up:
Doodle’s best features are free, though you can sign up for a premium account with more features for less than $30 a year. Doodle also integrates with lots of other scheduling tools such as Google Calendar and now has an iPhone app.

in Ave Z Webinar, Worth Paying For
Webinar alert!
Next week I’m doing a presentation on the best free and low-cost online tools to help run a small-staff office. It’s part of a multi-day series of webinars called the 24/7 Small-Staff Association Online Conference for American Society of Association Executives.
My session is Wednesday, July 14 from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. EST. I’ll be presenting for an hour, then we’ll open the phone lines for an energetic discussion of favorite tools.
Here’s a brief description of the session:
Free and Low-Cost Tools You Can’t Live Without
Join us for an entertaining, lightning-fast tour of tools, gadgets and services you never thought you could afford!
Identify your fave five during the session, and leave with the full list to share with your colleagues. As a closet
computer geek and veteran cheapskate, Speaker Beth Ziesenis of Avenue Z Writing Solutions has been
collecting resources for many years, and her presentation will open your eyes to new ideas and thrifty time
savers.
Registration is still open! Check out the full series here….
