iPolipo goes live!
Yesterday was a milestone for us at Compassites as we successfully launched another product that went through ideation, innovation and incubation stages. iPolipo is an effective time management tool. It was Rajesh Setty’s idea that got transformed into this beautiful product. More details on what iPolipo tries to solve is available in his blog article “A new take on solving the scheduling problem: Launch of iPolipo“.
Technically, iPolipo web application was built using Ruby on Rails and the Microsoft Outlook connector using .Net framework. The pages where calendars are involved were really interesting to develop particularly we had good debates and discussions around time zone management. iPolipo involves lot of cool Ajax features and rich user interface. The movies in the site explains how iPolipo works. Take a look at “iPolipo - Connecting Up!“, use it, and let me know your comments, feedback and suggestions.

Ramesh,
I am a regular reader of your blog. Looked at the features of iPolipo.
Just a minor suggestion that I wished to share.
Instead of preventing contacts from viewing ALL busy and booked timeslots, it would be better to provide the user with the ability to mark a particular timeslot as Public/Private/..etc.Sometimes it is useful not only to know when a user is available, but also to know where he is or how busy he is during a particular timeslot.
For example, in case of an emergency, if I have to contact my boss, looking at his activity for that timeslot, I would be able to make the judgement whether to interrupt or wait based on the nature of the emergency and the activity he is involved in.
