Today we announced Tungle.me – the first click-to-meet technology.
In my view, this is the simplest way to schedule a meeting with someone. I personally use my Tungle.me link quite often. When someone wants to meet, all I do is give them my personal URL (tungle.me/Marc) and it’s up to them to propose times that are convenient for them – without having to sign-up. The interesting part is that I get to have the final say on the times proposed, and as soon as I pick a time, both my calendar and my contact’s calendar get updated. I have been waiting for this capability for quite some time.
I am also excited about our Facebook and Web widgets. Our users have asked us to find ways to make their online profiles more useful, and we figured that there was no better way than to bring the Tungle.me capability to them. Now, right from someone’s profile, contacts can see a real-time view of their availability and easily schedule a meeting with them.
In addition to its simplicity, what makes Tungle.me powerful is that it can seamlessly be added to any form of conversation, on or offline. Tungle.me does not require the user to open a browser, start a new email string, etc. It can simply be inserted in an IM message, sent via twitter, spoken over the phone, etc.
Tungle.me is the third anchor in the overall Tungle solution. Tungle.me is the solution of choice when you want to allow others to easily schedule meetings with you (inbound). Our flagship scheduling capability is the solution of choice when you want to initiate meetings with one or many people (outbound). Finally, cross-calendar sharing is the ideal choice for strengthening the connection with close working relationships.
For people who know what a Sheppard’s Pie is: “Outbound scheduling is the meat, calendar sharing is the mashed potato, and Tungle.me is the corn”. All three ingredients are important to make an awesome Sheppard’s Pie.
