The internet has made connecting with lots of people that aren't nearby very easy, unless you are trying to connect with a large group of people at the same time. If you do this on a regular basis, hopefully you aren't still using the old email - manual coordination process that's a huge consumer of your time, not to mention frustratingly tedious. Automating this common need is being done at a website called Schedule Once. It's designed to help both individuals and teams wrangle the scheduling issue, while offering automatic syncing options to make it even more efficient. No matter where in the world the various members of your group may be, the tool manages and understands the differences in time zones. Before you commit to using the service, you can sign up for a free 2 week trail to give it a test drive first at http://www.scheduleonce.com
