Personally, I much prefer the simpler services like duopoll.com as they don’t require registrations and a lot of clicking. Give it a spin.

Hey Smartinvestor,

As the CFO of Tungle I can assure you the $5M was not debt of any kind and that the company is very far away from bankruptcy.

No, I’m 100% positive it is the Canadian company Tungle from Montreal that is close to bankruptcy. The news is that the 5M was in high yield debt well above prime, and that they are having difficultly making payments on the debt.

Ah, once more without escape characters…

Cuts down the 6 step:
“OK, let’s get together and discuss”.

[Game of chicken ensues to see who will throw out suggested time first]
[Offer, Counter-Offer]
[Repeat x4]

“Great. Let’s plan on it!”
[Game of chicken ensues to see who will send invite]
[Repeat entire process with meeting location]

So, add the “Where do you want to meet for lunch?” (location/food type) feature, and you will decrease internet traffic by approx 8.7%…

Very cool. I’ve been waiting for something link this.

@Smart-but-ill-informed-Investor I had the privilege of having front row seats to Tungle’s $5M Series A last fall (right around the time where the World ended). So no worries of bankruptcy or insolvency for a long while. Tungle me sometimes if you’d like to discuss ! Cheers, David

Having just raised USD $5M last September I can assure you Tungle is very far from being bankrupt or insolvent. You may have been confusing them with someone else in the space.

Remind me about this comment the next time someone says we write about twitter too much and not enough about new apps.

I heard that Tungle is going into bankruptcy, and is completely insolvent.

But I’m not so sure how this is social though. Most of the time, you do not need to schedule a meeting to catch a lunch or a beer with friends. I think calendars and rigid schedules are for business, but not for everyday sociability. The latter is more spontaneous.

Very cool! Thanks for writing about this. This seems so simple. I like that others don’t have to sign-up to the service to schedule a meeting with me. I hope it lives up to my expectations.

Like the name or not, I have been using Tungle for about 4 months now, and I can tell you that it simply works. The Tungle guys keep on improving their service.

I have used Timebridge, and was not impressed by their UI – clunky and buggy.

I’m looking forward to trying out Tungle.me

I’ve used Timebridge before and liked it. Tungle.me though, I’m not so keen on the name. Perhaps the service is good but I feel awkward about the thought of sending a “tungle” anything to a client. Sure you could say that about “Google” or any number of companies. Still, Tungle just doesn’t sound professional, no matter how catchy of a web name you think it is or not.

The developers of Tungle.Me may find the following open source scheduling software API from Prague Technical University in the Czech, called TORSCHE Scheduling Toolbox for Matlab. TORSCHE is written in Matlab and the scheduling algorithms are developed using techniques from Operations Research (OR), which is the appropriate way of doing scheduling (ie, via OR). TORSCHE is so advanced where it can be used in complex task as industrial machine scheduling for instance. Their papers on the TORSCHE algorithms are also available freely from their site. Let me know by posting back here if you're keen to look at the possibility of porting TORSCHE into whatever language that you developed your application in, because it can easily be done in Java or perhaps C#. I can point you out to the appropriate Java API or C# API to use. I haven't used TORSCHE before, but I looked at it closely last year for the possibility of porting it into Java for a project that I got involved in where scheduling algorithms were needed to be developed.

I tried Tungle a year ago, they’ve really come a long way! Have to say that the UI is awesome!

I always wondered when something like this would be available. Just makes sense to me.

I love this post. I think this is going to change the way meetings are planned and booked. I am going to check this out as it it sounds very easy.
