Portable Planet

Tungle, the peer-to-peer (P2P) meeting coordinator, unveiled today, a limited beta version of its solution. Tungle enables users to leverage their current calendaring solutions, to easily and effectively organize meetings with friends, co-workers or business associates that use different groupware or desktop time management systems.

“Tungle is powerful and unlike any other online calendar solution available to people today,” said Marc Gingras, chief executive officer at Tungle Corporation. “Before a user sends a meeting request, our solution gives users a snapshot view of the times their friends, co-workers or business associates are free or busy. This makes it much easier to schedule meetings, and why this feature is so popular within corporate workgroup environments. Because Tungle transcends a single corporation or computer system, people can schedule meetings with friends, colleagues or co-workers no matter where they are or what time management or groupware solution they use. As we progress through the beta period, we will continue to add the features that users find effective - and that set us apart from the competition.”

Tungle is powerful and unlike any other online calendar solution available to people today
Tungle is a P2P meeting coordinator that is downloaded and installed by the end user. Its one-click setup automatically installs the software and seamlessly integrates with a user’s time management and calendaring system. Because it is platform and application agnostic, Tungle enables professionals to leverage their current time management and calendaring application to see the Free / Busy times of their friends, co-workers or business associates.

In addition, Tungle provides a native, enterprise-class meeting scheduler that automatically suggests times when multiple contacts are available. This enables people to easily coordinate activities with their friends or colleagues.

Privacy, Portability, Accessibility & Scalability
Tungle leverages its P2P network to ensure the privacy of users and their meeting information. The meeting information remains within the application on the PC of each individual. The Free / Busy information is only shared with the friends, co-workers or business associates they invite. Because Tungle leverages a P2P network, users are able to access and use Tungle even when they are not connected to the Internet. Additionally, Tungle’s architecture enables it to work across networks and firewalls.

Tungle’s P2P network supports millions of users without requiring the dedicated infrastructure of a major web portal. This also means that users will not experience slowdowns or system overloads - like they can when using client / server-based systems.
