Q. Is there an online tool available to help organise meetings or teleconferences?

A. Getting people together in the same location at the same time or on the phone at the same time can be a difficult task. Lots of time can be wasted setting and resetting dates and times. A free online tool called Doodle can help, Log on to Doodle, set up an event and provide several possible choices for the date and time. Doodle provides you with a link to send out to the potential attendees. The attendees follow the link back to the meeting poll on Doodle and indicate when they can participate. When most or all attendees have responded you can view the best choice and select this as the final scheduled date and time. It saves lots of emails back and forth and makes the painful process of meeting setting a whole lot easier.
