Doodle Brings Easy Event Scheduling to Facebook
ZURICH, Switzerland, September 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Doodle announced today
that it also provides its scheduling services to the Facebook community. The
Doodle Facebook application allows users to easily find the best date and
time for any kind of group event; examples include conference calls, family
BBQs, business lunches, and team meetings.
Facebook users who have added the Doodle application can poll their
friends for a date or time in a few simple steps. Invitations to participate
in a poll can be sent via Facebook's messaging system. And even people
without a Facebook account can participate in the poll upon invitation by
e-mail.
Doodle is confident that event scheduling will be a success within
Facebook as well. "Doodle is a great extension to Facebook," says Reto
Laemmler, Vice President of End-User Products at Doodle. "While Facebook's
current features are good for managing events given a date, Doodle is the
easiest, most efficient way to find the best date or time for a group event.
And it is the first application to add this functionality to Facebook. We're
excited to find out how much the Facebook community will like the new Doodle
application."
About Doodle
Doodle is the leading online scheduling service (according to traffic
comparison services like Alexa, Compete, and Google Trends) and is available
in 25 languages. Doodle is provided byZurich, Switzerland based Doodle AG
that focuses on delivering a very simple and highly usable service which is
free for end users. It requires no registration, no download, and no
installation. Doodle AG's main revenue streams are advertising and hosted,
branded services for organizations.
Doodle was invented and first implemented in 2003 by Michael Naf, a Swiss
computer scientist, to meet a personal need: finding a date and time to have
dinner with several friends at once; a process in which e-mail messages and
phone calls repeatedly failed. To also meet the needs of the fast growing
user base, Michael decided to professionalize Doodle and founded Doodle AG in
2007 together with Paul E. Sevinc, a Swiss electrical engineer.
Reto Laemmler, Vice President of End-User Products and lead engineer of
the Facebook integration, joined Doodle in early 2008. As the founder and
former CEO of Xcellery, a Silicon Valley based company which he sold to
Expresso Corp. in 2007, he is very experienced in building successful
web-based applications and uses his background to drive the future
development of Doodle.
