This week's edition of Stuff I Like is all about Tungle. Stated simply, Tungle solves all my scheduling problems.

There are two problems I have with schedules. First, I'm involved in three companies, each with its own calendar, and I have a personal life. So I have to manage four separate calendars and ensure that each one reflects something scheduled on another so I never double-book myself. Second, I can't afford to waste time going back and forth with potential investors or clients trying to find a time when we're both available.

Tungle solves both these problems by providing me with an online calendar that aggregates all my other calendars into one place, and lets me make that calendar public. Of course I aggregate my calendars in iCal, too, but Tungle lets me check that calendar on any device with Internet access. And Tungle let's you check my calendar, too.

Here's an example: Let's say you're a reporter who wants to interview me about my views on the future of the social web (shameless plug). Instead of telling you that I'm available at 2pm Tuesday and 4pm Wednesday, I can just say, "You can check my availability at http://tungle.me/rfawal and find the time that works best for you." Now you can quickly schedule an available time, directly through Tungle, and I've saved us both time.

Seriously, try it now. Go look at my schedule: http://tungle.me/rfawal. You'll notice that you can't see what's actually on my schedule, just when I'm available or unavailable. That's good for me, because no one has to see that I can't meet at a certain time because I'm doing yoga, so no one feels less important than anything else on my agenda. Of course when I log in I see all the details of every schedule item.

The only downsides to Tungle at the moment are that I must select one calendar as the default, so every meeting scheduled through the site is set to that calendar and if I want to move it to a different calendar I have to do it manually in iCal, and that my profile is very limited to only one email address and one phone number.That's counterintuitive given that Tungle is so effective at organizing the multiple calendars I have.

 Considering the fact that Tungle is completely free, those two issues are tolerable for now. If they want me to start paying, or they want me to stay loyal as I discover competitors, they'll have to resolve those quickly. But for now I'm very happy with Tungle and its ability to solve real problems for me.
