Try http://www.scheduleonce.com - it’s a free web 2.0 for finding a time for your meeting, and the only scheduling service that automatically adjusts to daylight saving time.

Thanks, Tom! ScheduleOnce looks like a great tool for scheduling meetings where you want to allow participants to “vote” on when is a good time for them. Doodle (www.doodle.com) is similar.
World Clock Meeting Planner is better suited when you have to make a one-sided decision…when you are planning a teleclass or webinar, for instance.
All three are handy!

Hi Sandra,
That’s a neat piece of advice from you. I’m sure it will come in handy for me in some future time. Thanks fior the post. God bless you and your loved ones always.

Hi Terri,
Slightly off topic, but I am wondering if you have heard of Lypp? (http://lypp.com) It’s a teleconferencing service that allows the host to schedule a meeting that calls everyone that is to be in the call. Supports recording as well.
Cheers,
Erik

Thanks, Erik — I hadn’t heard of your service, although I have seen toll-free bridges before. Great idea (to have the teleconference system call the attendees)…but I’m assuming the 9 cents per minute is per attendee (although the website isn’t clear about that!) and that adds up fast! For the typical solo entrepreneur, that could be prohibitively expensive. I see that recording is included though…so it might be a cost tradeoff.
Anyone out there used this service?
