Faster planning with FasterPlan

You don't need to break your back being the sole organiser of an event - take help from the attendees using fasterplan.com - a free event planning tool. You don't need to sign up to start using it; you don't even need to enter an email ID.

Just click start and a 'billboard ' with a URL is automatically created. You can add your notes, select dates and times and add a poll. Once you do this, just share the URL with all the people you're inviting - FasterPlan can also take over the task of inviting everyone if you key in their email IDs - but you don't have to do this (and it's probably better if you don't, given privacy concerns). Every invitee has control over the billboard - to add more text or edit the existing block, to edit the poll and to select a mutually convenient date and time.

Just refresh the page at your end to see what each invitee has changed. FasterPlan automatically recommends the best date and time for your event (based on the common time that everyone has selected).

You can also set an alert - FasterPlan will alert you whenever someone makes changes/additions to a billboard - but you do need to enter your email ID for this. Whatever the case, the URL for your billboard remains constant, and the only thing you need to share to plan your event.
