TimeDance is a Web site concept primed for criticism. This site puts your meeting and contact scheduling into cyberspace, which, at first, seems to be cold, sterile and impersonal.
Its creators seem to be asking warm-blooded humans to rid themselves of the personal nature of meeting planning by phone or in person by initiating all contacts through the Internet.
How much farther, a skeptic might ask, could we go - short of wiring our laptops, desktops and palmtops into our brain?
Apparently, a little farther. TimeDance is a novel, interesting and rather useful Web site.
The premise is simple. Log in and register. When you are scheduling business or personal events, enter all of the appropriate information, including the e-mail addresses of the invited individuals and potential times and dates, and the Web site will take over, sending out invitations and polling time availability.
The invited contacts do not have to be registered with TimeDance and the Web site can, with some tinkering on your part, upload schedule and contact information to whatever desktop time organizer you are operating.
TimeDance bills itself as an all-purpose event organizer. For all intents and purposes, it is not.
The process is tedious and time consuming if you are notifying just one, two or even three people about a meeting. But it really saves time when scheduling events in which many people will be attending and some consensus about a time and date must be established.
In this regard, TimeDance is a real gem. And in the process of entering e-mail and contact information, TimeDance serves a dual function as an online contact manager. In fact, the program serves many of the functions that a program such as Microsoft Outlook provides, only the online functions convert your passive desktop calendar into an active booking agent.
Small businesses, setting up meetings with distributors, suppliers and retailers can save plenty of phone legwork using this Web site.
Where TimeDance could fail -- both the consumer and in its mission -- is if individuals do not take to this latest revolution in the cyber-office. The Web site is only effective if all of the parties you are contacting have an e-mail address. And willingly take part. The site, while strong in content, purpose and results, will only be an effective business tool if many businesses are willing to use it.
Reviewer's
rating: 4 / 5
Comments: If the Internet-hungry public takes to online networking to the same degree it has taken to e-mail, TimeDance.com will be a runaway success.
