Doodle Before Meeting

You know how tough it can be to get a group of busy people to agree on a mutually convenient day and time for a meeting?

Let me share a nifty solution with you.

Lately I've been using this handy online service that enables any number of people to coordinate their schedules. It's called Doodle.

Creating your own free Doodle account takes less than a minute. You create a simple poll with the template provided, forward the link to your poll to all participants, then track online the participants' responses. Doodle will send you an email you every time somebody responds to your poll

I'm part of a citizen/government committee working to build a new arts pavilion (band shell) here in Pullman. There are nine or ten busy people on this committee, whose schedules are often difficult to mesh. Doodle has greatly simplified the process of coordinating and scheduling meetings.

But wait, there's more! Radio stations can also use Doodle to create and conduct advertiser/listener polls, opening up a ton of possibilities.

The free version is supported by (what else?) Google ads. If you're willing to spend a little money, you can even have your own station- or advertiser-branded Doodle site.

Best way to determine how Doodle's capabilities can benefit you is to visit their website and poke around. Check out the online examples.

Highly recommended!
