Two ways to Tungle! Today on the blog, we discuss the difference between inbound and outbound scheduling - including which to use, and when. Read it here: http://www.tungle.me/Home/two-ways-to-tungle-inbound-v-outbound/

"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.

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:

At Tungle.me, we just released a really cool project. We had ideas on what the calendar of the future should be, but wanted to hear from industry leaders.
So we took it on the road & interviewed Robert Scoble, Don Dodge (Google), Ellen Levy (LinkedIn), Mark Hendrickson (Plancast), Ed Brill (IBM), Mike Brown (Facebook) and others.
I want to invite you all to stop by and share your thoughts. Video replies are definitely welcome :)

From back to school (create your own household product) to a March Madness Household Product showdown, I have so many fun ideas to get our customers engaged! Luckily, some of my ideas make it through; we're doing a quick fun online event for our birthday celebration.

I think you may have a point with people afraid to have meetings shorter because the content of the meeting will have less importance. I have been to quite a few meetings where everyone wants to voice their own opinion and get their 2 cents in. They will give opinions but are not willing to help or take action on their opinion. Longs meetings create talk and no action. (again if there is not a certain goal in mind for the meeting as well as a duration cut off) 15 min is great :)

Social media gives people wider-reaching voices. For brands, that's a great opportunity to listen to what people are saying about you and about the space you play in. It's an opportunity to hear, directly from your audience, what they want and expect from you.

We are a canceling culture (http://bit.ly/dy1yLC). I'm certainly guilty of it. As the author of that post says, sometimes canceling feels like you got time back. But if the point is to spend time with another person, why does it feel satisfying to cancel? Rescheduling is the new black. But what do you think, is it okay to cancel - yay or nay?

I agree with Marie. If we adjust our schedules to where we're not so overloaded then keeping the appointment isn't so difficult. We don't feel so worn out. It's not just about keeping the appointment, it's about committing when you REALLY CAN commit! and not just saying that you will.
