"Is asking someone to use Tungle.me an interpersonal power play?"
That was the original question posed on Quora - http://b.qr.ae/fXXDes It's turned into a really interesting discussion spanning everything from etiquette, to power positions, to how we value our time, and who's time we value.
What are your thoughts? Have you had experience with Tungle, or with other methods of scheduling where you felt it was handled well, or poorly from a relationship standpoint?

I use Tungle.me, but because some people don't want to use it, I still spend about 3 hrs a week managing my schedule for personal and business. I think someday we won't worry about the "etiquette and power" in scheduling as technology becomes so flexible, but I wish we were there already.
When I worked in corporate, no one would question if I asked them to use Outlook internally, so I don't completely get why Tungle.me and similar programs have a stigma as impersonal.

I've known many recruiters who Tungle, but I think it's okay for them because job-seekers know they should do anything they can to get an interview. I use it off-and on. It's terribly convenient, but can be more harm than help if travel between multiple locations is an issue. I drive around to/from the office and between client meetings a lot and often forget to include travel time on my calendar. When I'm using Tungle a lot, I have to check every night to make sure everything is aligned properly, which kinda defeats the purpose. But for phone meetings, it's ideal.

Do you follow everyone on Twitter who follows you? Nice post from Mitch Joel on being a Twitter snob:

What's your follow strategy? Is it personally or professionally driven (or both)?

Time waits for no one. What matters most to you? Where do your priorities lie? Where do you draw the line between what 'has to' get done, and the things that really matter?
Scott Stratten of Unmarketing recently created this awesome video for us:
http://therealizemovie.com/
It's making think about each minute or hour spent on the 'shoulds' and if they could be better spent. Do you feel like you're spending your time well?

One thing I would ad is - its fine to source business from social media, but if all you are doing is selling or promoting I'm going to either disregard everything you say, or simply unfollow you.

As long as I can remember the saying "suck in and smile," has outlined many experiences in my life. From showing horses to being in the corporate world, the saying still works. Yet I have found that this method is not cohesive for creating real relationships.
How do you expose yourself enough to create a real relationship today?

In a couple weeks my parents and my girlfriend's parents are going to meet for the first time. This isn't something that I've ever stressed out about before, but my current girlfriend is pretty awesome. I want this meeting to go well. I know that it's pretty much a dice roll, but if you guys have any tips for how I can make the first encounter a good one I'd love to hear from you. I'll give you all an update after they meet too.

I was nervous because where my parents are left leaning democrats, his are on the far right of the spectrum, and I was just hoping to avoid catastrophe.
We all met up for dinner and managed to steer the conversation to common ground-- their kids, of course, and sports! Sports are something everyone tends to have common ground in. And after dinner, things lightened up even more when we went out to an Irish pub for a drink. From your comments above, it seems like that option might be a winner!

@Hannah -- I'm counting my blessings that both my girlfriend's parents and my own seem to be more on the Conservative side. Politics can ruin everything.
Drinks always help, too! They'll be plenty of beer when our parents finally meet in a few weeks :)

We create great relationships by being aware of ourselves, by learning about ourselves, and by working on ourselves. What does everyone else think?
