Have you ever tried to set up a meeting between two people in different companies? You start by swapping email saying “how about thursday at 3 or friday at 1?”. When that becomes too much of a hassle you say “screw it”, pick up the phone and start exchanging voice mails until you finally reach the person you need on the phone.
It’s a huge hassle. This morning we’re going to be talking with Marc Gingras, CEO and founder of Tungle, who has an innovative peer to peer solution that works seemlessly with your current calendar solution for fixing this problem. If you’ve ever played email or phone tag trying to set up a meeting, you’re going to want to join us for this call.

Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
