Whether you're planning a meeting with a colleague or you just want to
grab dinner with a friend, if everyone's busy, it can be tough. Pick is a
web service that makes it easy. Best of all, you can use it on your own
or with other people to pick the best times for all of you to get
together, automatically.
Pick works
two ways. You can use it to tell other people when the best times to
meet with you are, so you can just tie it into your Google Calendar
(Outlook and iCloud are coming soon) and let other people know when they
should schedule time to meet with you, a lunch, dinner, or whatever.
It's a great way to let other people choose figure out when you're free
without having to go back and forth on the details. You even get a
custom Pick URL that you can send to people (or include in your email
signature, or whatever) where people can go to schedule time with you.
The second approach works if you and everyone you want to meet with all
use Pick together. Then the service can tell you when the best times for
all of you are, and then handles the details for you, as long as
everyone agrees. The video above does a good job of showing you how the
service works. It's free (for now, premium features are on the way) and
you can either use it on the web or from its companion iPhone app (shown
in the video, Android is on the way.)
