Time for a Group Tungle?

Introducing Tungle.me Groups! You can now organize your contacts by groups in Tungle.me, making it even easier to bring together the people you want to meet with.

Let’s say you regularly meet with the same 3 people from your Sales team. Create a new “Sales” group and add those 3 people. The next time you want to meet with them, simply select the group and send the invite—no more adding each invitee individually.

Tungle Us!

Want someone to book time with you and your Sales team? Add the group name to your personal Tungle.me URL to get a special group page for others to schedule meetings with you and your group, without signing up.

For example, My URL is http://tungle.me/Jacou. I’ve created a group for the Tungle.me Management team, and I’ve named it “Management.” If I add that to my URL like this—http://tungle.me/Jacou/Management—I get a page showing the overlaid availabilities of me and everyone in the group. People I share that new URL with can now easily schedule meetings with me and the group without signing up.

Group Meetings Without the Group

A business associate wants to meet with you and two of your colleagues. You and your colleagues all have Tungle.me pages.

Add each person’s personal URL to your own, separated by commas, to create a quick, ad-hoc group page.

For example, to create a page with my, Marc and Rod’s availability, I would type the URL http://tungle.me/Jacou,Marc,Rod (Marc’s URL is http://tungle.me/Marc and Rod’s is http://tungle.me/Rod) and send it out. I send the new URL to whomever wants to meet with us, and they can now easily schedule a meeting with all three of us without ever signing up.

It’s All About Making Meeting Happen

Calendars are not confined behind company walls anymore. Meetings are taking place across organizations, platforms and even time zones. Team members are dispersed, telecommuting is growing, companies are outsourcing projects, working with people in other organizations and building partnerships, and people are even now broadcasting their events with tools like Plancast.

With Tungle.me, we’re breaking down the barriers that impede the simple task of scheduling. Being able to create a simple group page that brings together people from different companies or locations is a huge step forward in that effort.
