Doodle Makes Scheduling a Breeze

 
Scheduling is always a hassle. Some sites, like Facebook, do have a scheduling feature which lets people confirm or deny their attendance to a scheduled event. However, these aren't of much use when you want to schedule an event based on when you and your contacts are free.

Enter Doodle. Doodle is a simple, free, and easy-to-use online tool which lets you and your friends find your common times with ease. It does so by allowing you to set up a poll of dates and times of when you want an event to take place and then sending out this poll to your contacts to answer.

Simplicity seems to be Doodle's motto as everything from registration, setting up a poll, to sending out the access link is mind numbingly easy, as I found out myself while testing the site out.

Pixelpipe Lets You Post Everywhere at Once

Posting messages on separate accounts wastes a lot of time, especially now that it's not unusual for a person to have accounts on multiple online networking sites. This rings especially true in the case of announcements and some content updates (status messages) since the message being posted will be identical between sites anyway.

Pixelpipe addresses this issue by functioning as a sort of central dashboard from which a user can selectively post messages to multiple sites simultaneously. It supports a lot of popular sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Tumblr, and Flickr just to name a few.
