ScheduleOnce helps people schedule meetings across time zones and daylight savings changes.

ScheduleOnce does not require registration, is web-based and free.

One thing that’s a worse time waster for busy marketers and entrepreneurs than (useless) meetings is trying to schedule a meeting. Especially when you’re trying to find a time for a large group of people, each of whom just has to be there. It always takes way more time and energy than it should, and then just when you think you’ve got it solved, someone says they can’t make it, and it starts the email avalanche all over again.

Fortunately, there are several free services that can make swift work of juggling calendars to find that perfect date and time. A sampling of these services is below.

Jiffle™ makes scheduling appointments and meetings quick and simple by enabling users to selectively and securely share your online ‘Available’ calendar, and eliminate back and forth emails and phone tag to schedule appointments. It also enables you to synchronize with Outlook or your Google calendar.
