I found it on CenterNetworks, which called it "the best interface I've seen to-date". Free, no registration. Also, no having to select every time with drop-down lists (doodle) or click a million checkboxes (meetomatic) or type in every option (whenshouldwe), and no having to "write down" meeting codes (WhenIsGood) or remember anything. It's displayed in calendar format, results are displayed in the same, easy calendar format. And they donate 10% of revenue to a charity the event coordinator chooses. http://gathergrid.com http://GatherGrid.com is much simpler than When is Good, Meet-o-Matic, and Doodle.

There are many great rivals out there... no doubt about it (e.g. Volker Wohlert is correct, too!) But hey, we've been running Meetomatic since 1998! How about a 'shoot-out' by TechCrunch comparing speed and simplicity in different niches (coarse-grained scheduling, fine-grained, etc). Heck, we even advertise our rivals because we know we're the simplest and fastest in at least one niche!

When you pay $99 or $149 a year, you STILL have to accept advertising. I think advertising is OK for free services, but not paid. I wouldn't use it because of that.
