Web site to help people pick dates for events
Problem: You want to go and do something with your chums (hiking, in my particular case right now) and you need to pick a weekend. This currently done via a muddle of emails.
Solution: Simple web site – people’s names along the columns, list of possible dates down the rows. Text box on each date that you can enter anything you want in. If you enter anything in the box, the date counts as gone. Here’s a spreadsheet version of what I have in mind:
It could be complicated (where everyone has a login, it sends you reminders, etc) or simple (where anyone can type into anyone else’s dates). I will not be entirely surprised if this has been done already, in which case I’ll use theirs…
A fine idea, but what you need is doodle.com, Chris.
My friend Sam tells me that wigadoo.com does this as well, and also does the chasing of people for money. So it would appear that this idea is definitely a done one.
And also at meetomatic.com. This is perhaps the world’s most done idea.
