Doodle?
« on: Aug 14, 2011, 08:18 pm »
Has anyone here used Doodle?

www.doodle.com

The next director I'll be working with has stated it's her preferred method of scheduling...so far it looks pretty straightforward. But if anyone has any tips, tricks, or hints it'd be much appreciated.
I personally would like to bring a tortoise onto the stage, turn it into a racehorse, then into a hat, a song, a dragon and a fountain of water. One can dare anything in the theatre and it is the place where one dares the least. -Ionesco

Doodle has been great for me this past year.  What gets tricky is when you are trying to schedule several events and they are all asking for the same availability slots.  Once one event solidifies a time I have to remember to go back and adjust my times in the other polls. 
The thing I like most about it is that it gives me a visual indication of when it is worth it for me to work to adjust my schedule for the good of the group, and when there are many other options so I should just leave my appointments and such alone.

Been a while since I've hung around here, so, yes, this is a delayed reply to this thread. We use Doodle a lot lately for finding rehearsal times for our one-off shows...things that require just one or two rehearsals of people with other commitments besides our company. It does give a great quick visual reference that you can keep checking when new people sign up. And you get an email notification each time someone new replies or changes their answers. You can also edit the options and resend without starting completely over.
