Playing With My Doodle
Have just been shown a fantastic little free web 2.0 application called Doodle that allows you check people's availability for meetings. Great when you're working on a committee with members who are flung around the country and you're trying to coordinate a time for a meeting. Simply create a poll, forward the link to the committee and wait for the responses!! Brilliant

Don't play too often - you wouldn't want to wear it out!
Hello Totally Trevor,
Um... I'm not too sure about the name of your blog, you might not want to admit that on a public site. As long as you're not thinking about crusty old libarians when you're "playing with your doodle", that's reserved for me. I remember my school libarian, she had a bun and her shirts were always well-pressed. She banned me from the libary because I kept spying on her and checking out her "dewey decimal system". Maybe she is a friend of yours.
I can see the sense in using this to coordinate meetings when committee members are dispersed far and wide, but you wouldn't want to be using it with people in the same office as you. In that case a simple email, phone call, or face to face conversation would be more than adequate. All these web based communication tools are great, but in my view, we shouldn't rely on them too much.
Hi Trev, Just used doodle to organise a date for my bookclub Christmas drinks.
It's great!!!
