Recently, I started testing out Tungle, a calendaring system that syncs, schedules meetings, and allows others to schedule a meeting within your calendar.  Tungle had some questions for me to consider, so I thought I’d blog about them and my experience.

1. What made you decide to start Tungling?

I was looking for a calendaring system that would sync on my Mac with Entourage and Exchange, and I really like the ability to schedule meetings.  Scheduling meetings is a great option for my students, where I can say, “These are the times I have open.  You pick what works for you.”  Hat tip to Profhacker blog for the info.

2. What’s one thing we do better than any other productivity app out there?

Definitely, Tungle seems to do the syncing with Entourage and Exchange and publish it to the Web.

3. What’s one thing we could do to create a better experience for you?

I would like to be able to publish my calendar privately.  This is where I don’t necessarily want my calendar of availability published openly on the web, but I would like to publish it with a passcode that I could provide to my students or another colleague to view my calendar and schedule a meeting.

4. Do you refer Tungle.me to others?  If yes, why?

I haven’t yet; I’m still testing Tungle out.  But I’m starting to like it, and I’m blogging about it.

5. What would you Google to find an app like Tungle.me?

I’d be searching for “schedule a meeting” or “sync calendar entourage exchange.”

So, there you go.  In the past, I’ve been using MeetingWizard to schedule meetings.  But Tungle is an app that offers some integration with my existing workflow…and that’s always better.
