“GatherGrid is the tool to use when you have to schedule multiple parties for a meeting. You can name your event, click times you’re available and send a link for others to click their times. It takes about 30 seconds to poll everyone and render all those back and forth e-mails obsolete!”

The blog has some great tips. So plan your meeting at GatherGrid, and make sure it runs elegantly (!) with some of Julius’s helpful tips.

We’re online for one day and already GatherGrid is getting great reviews!

Thanks to Allen Stern at the ever-popular CenterNetworks:

A new NYC startup launched this week that has the most useful interface I’ve seen to-date from the event polling services. GatherGrid offers a grid system for polling your attendees. Here’s how it works: name your event, select your open days/times in the grid, email your friends or send them the direct link, the attendees select which days/times work for them and then you confirm the event.
