Review: Doodle

Sometimes something comes along that makes life a bit simpler. That this something is free makes it that much better.

If you need to get consensus on anything, head over to doodle.com. Once you sign up, this site lets you quickly set up events and polls. Add the Email addresses of the people you wish to participate (you can import contacts from Gmail), press send, and wait for the results.

Doodle is far, far, simpler than compiling Email responses and trying to remember who has yet to reply. Even if you use Outlook for your Email at work, this site-based polling is easier than the Outlook's "radio button" voting option.

As well as being able to track the results online, you can export the final poll to an Excel sheet or a PDF file. Doodle also makes everyone accountable for their choices. You can even hide all the responses from an invitee save their own to curtail strategic voting. Doodle is a terrific tool.
