TimeBridge wants to play David to the meeting waste of time Goliath. I hope it succeeds and has the tools in place to at least eliminate meeting excuses. Can’t find a time? Handled. Don’t know if the agenda impacts you? Handled. Need constant reminders to remember a meeting? Handled. Like to play with your iPhone more than work? Handled. — James Gaskin, in his recent review of TimeBridge in Network World.
Meeting organizers – Rejoice! LaunchSquad client, TimeBridge, announced earlier this month a significant expansion of their service to support the entire meeting process from coordination to action items. The popular web app now helps manage all of the details around organizing meetings – everything from scheduling and phone/web conferencing, to agenda creation, one-click SMS reminders and running late notifications, as well as capturing and distributing action items. An iPhone application will be available soon and help you organize your meetings on the go.
“[The iPhone app] lets you scan your agenda (with a time line for your meetings), or ping late people. You can also use the iPhone app to dial in to a TimeBridge conference call directly,” said Rafe Needleman in his CNET review of TimeBridge’s new offering. “I believe the new features will help more meetings start on time, and might just make a tiny dent in the content of meetings themselves. But that’s fine. Every little bit helps.”
Over the last year, TimeBridge has grown immensely, surpassing 400,000 users. TimeBridge has also announced $5 million in funding earlier this year, which they are using to go after their goal of helping everyone run great meetings.
