Anyone who’s ever played phone tag knows just how tough it can be to schedule a meeting with someone. Jiffle aims to remove the fuss involved with coordinating availability by enabling users to create appointments on other people’s calendars. The program is already fully integrated with Outlook, and beginning next week it will be compatible with Google Calendar as well.
Upon opening a Jiffle calendar, users are presented with a schedule of their associate’s availability. With a few clicks, a new appointment can be created in a manner that will come naturally to anyone who’s used a standard calendar application.
Jiffle believes that its application could be a boon to participants in Google’s Adwords program. After clicking on an appealing ad, consumers will no longer have to call customer support or sales representatives to schedule appointments - they can simply add themselves into an available time slot. Jiffle also thinks that Cisco’s
There are some strong competitors to Jiffle, including TimeBridge, which already supports Google Calendar. TimeBridge also helps facilitate group meetings through use of a point system, which allows users to vote on their preferred times. We expect to see other major developments in this space very soon.

Don’t overlook HourTown and Genbook. They seem to be much stronger competitors than TimeBridge.

Apparently you have the link wrong: it’s http://www.JiffleNow.com - someone else owns jiffle.com
Which is weird because “Jiffle” sounds like one of those names you come up with because everything else is taken.
Looks interesting though, checking it out now.
Yay, I don’t have to build this.
I was seriously thinking of pursuing an app like this, to show people when I am available. Google Cal needs this badly.
This way clients can see when you’re available and schedule time with you.
Yay Jiffle!
This actually makes me uncomfortable. I don’t put every little think on my calendar, particularly rest time. I would not want everyone to be able to see this. But perhaps many do, so cheers!
It didnt work on Both Safari and Firefox mac
Philip, thanks for catching that. I guess I had a similar assumption.
wondering when Jiffle will support iCal (Mac’s calendar)
Jason, Thanks for the post.
@Christopher (cjagers) - Thanks for your comment. I am the co-founder & CEO of Jiffle. With Jiffle, your contacts will be able to see only the ‘time’ you have denoted as available. They cannot see any other information – your other appointments or your rest time. Your ‘available time’ is yours to specify, You can specify different available times to different people ( Jiffle’s patent pending technology called Selective Sharing)
For e.g. you may assign ‘available time’ to your prospects different from that set for your clients. However, you may also set the same available times for multiple groups such as clients and prospects.
Any other feedback is appreciated. Please contact me at hari.shetty[at]jifflenow[dot]com if you have any questions
Thanks,
Hari
Anyone try this out to schedule a meeting between 3+ people?
Scheduling meetings among a larger group of people works really well with http://www.doodle.ch
http://www.scheduleonce.com is a simple tool for scheduling group meetings and has absolute accuracy across all time zones and daylight saving changes.
This does look a lot like microsoft outlook.

You should also take note of Whenisgood. I like the user friendly GUI and the simplicity of the scheduling process.
