Concerns about privacy?

From time to time we hear concerns from Tunglers and future-Tunglers about sharing their calendars and contacts, or concerns that inviting people to meetings will require them to register.  No need to fear.  We built Tungle.me to be as simple to use as possible, eliminating as many barriers to adoption as possible. 

No Registration Required

First, you can rest easy when you share your Tungle.me link and use Tungle.me to schedule meetings.  We do NOT require registration to accept meeting requests or schedule meetings from someone’s Tungle.me page.  If you want to sign up for Tungle.me, you don’t even need to complete a new registration profile, you can sign up with your existing Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo!, or Windows Live ID. 

We’re All About Sharing, Except When it Comes to your Data

When you set up your Tungle.me personal scheduling page, you can customize your availability and choose whether or not you want to synchronize your online calendar for dynamic updating.  If you choose to synchronize with one or more electronic calendars (the best way to use Tungle.me,) you will provide Tungle.me with access to your calendar and contacts.  But don’t worry, we will not make this information visible, we do not save, share or sell your personal information, and we will never spam your contact list. 

If you choose to share your Tungle.me calendar with your trusted network, you can select either full calendar details or just to show your availability—no details.

For more information, see our Privacy Policy.  If you ever have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to ask. Leave a comment here or email support@tungle.com.

 

Tungle Corporation Expands Global Footprint to More Than 100 Countries

Users on Seven Continents Discover the Ease of Scheduling Meetings Across Organizations, Calendar Systems and Time Zones with Tungle.me

MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tungle Corp., the company that is pioneering the online scheduling industry, today announced that users in more than 100 countries on seven continents across the globe are increasing their productivity using its free Tungle.me scheduling application.

“There are now Tungle users on every continent,” said Marc Gingras, chief executive officer and founder of Tungle Corp. “The breakneck speed at which we’ve seen adoption of Tungle.me is very exciting for us. Clearly people are passionate about the product and understand the benefits of hassle-free meeting scheduling. And with Tungle.me, distance and time zones are no impediment.”Adoption of Tungle.me has been expanding rapidly, with over 30 percent month-to-month growth contributing to the 100+ country milestone. Business professionals within small, medium and large organizations from around the globe are now using Tungle.me to make meetings happen.

Tungle.me makes it easy for professionals to schedule meetings across organizations, calendar systems and time zones by eliminating costly double bookings and the endless back and forth of finding a time to meet. As a result, Tungle.me drastically improves productivity and efficiency. In the future Tungle will also offer scheduling in multiple languages to further enhance ease-of-use around the globe.

Three Cross Continent Tungle.me Use Cases

Clint Wilson, founder of Cazoomi.com, has his team of ZOOMILite professionals on Tungle.me. “Our ZOOMILite pros use Tungle.me to schedule demos, overviews and for quoting out with clients in the Cazoomi Platform,” said Wilson. “More than 130 ZOOMILite pros are spread out around the world in over 12 different time zones, and we schedule an average of 12 meetings per week per consultant. The ease of Tungle.me means our consultants, regardless of where they are in the world, can easily schedule meetings with clients located anywhere.”

“As a global corporation, we have offices, partners and clients all over the world, which means working across organizations, time zones and platforms," said Arndt Brockman, managing director at Zara Germany. "The fact that Tungle.me solves these complex problems in a very simple way makes it an invaluable solution to any global organization."

“My clients greatly appreciate me providing them with a completely accurate picture of my availability via my Tungle.me calendar,” said Helen Crozier, business productivity consultant in Sydney, Australia, and owner of BusinessProductivityGenius.com. Time zone differences between Sydney and the USA can be difficult, but Tungle.me takes away the anxiety and makes it easy to move past the logistics and get on with business. “Even dealing with interstate clients is simpler since I started using TungIe.me. Whatever country you are in, scheduling appointments and phone calls can now be completed in seconds, not days. And making it easy for both parties results in more bookings.”

Calling All Ambassadors!

Tungle.me is looking for a few good men (and women)

We see you every day -- on Twitter, in your blogs and in the emails you send us.  We see you spreading the Tungle.me love -- Sharing it with colleagues and recommending it to your networks.

Today we’re announcing the launch of the Tungle.me Ambassador Program, and we’re looking for energetic, inspiring Tunglers to be official Tungle.me ambassadors around the globe.

What’s involved?

If we’re sponsoring an event in your area, we’ll send you, armed with Tungle.me schwag, as an official Tungle.me representative.

We may ask you to speak on behalf of Tungle.me at an event.  Don’t worry, we’ll provide you with all the information you need beforehand.

We’ll support you in organizing small, local events as well.  We call them TungleUps and the content is up to you.  The goal of these TungleUps is to get local professionals together to meet and converse on a subject that matters to them.

For example, if you’re a business coach in the Seattle area, and you know there are lots of other business coaches in Seattle who’d love to get together and exchange ideas, send us a TungleUp proposal and we’ll be there to sponsor and support.
