Recent Updates

We have recently made quite a few updates to our tools recently. Let me list some of the recent and upcoming updates.

1) nicer looking emails. A small touch but now the emails that are automatically sent out from all our graceful tools are a bit more graceful.

2) faster login. Our login in procedure is now easier than ever. We have decided to collect less information initially in order to make it easier for people to start using our tools fast.

3) In table editing for event and appointment respondents. This is huge. You are now able to edit information that people edit right in a spreadsheet format on line. We think this makes things a lot easier to use for organizers.

4) manager edit only fields. Imagine you are editing a conference and after people have registered you want to assign them to cars/housing/small groups you name it. Now you can do this online. We hope this will make it a lot easier for people to organize a conference. You don't have to bother with excel or a google spreadsheet you do it all from within meetingstarter with all the user rights that you want.

5) Prettier URLs. visit www.meetingstarter.com/gt/jon and you will see what I mean. This has been available for months but many people didn't know it was there.

6) Many bugs fixed... If you have used our tool and found bugs... you are not alone. We have been working hard to become bug free. If you find additional bugs let us know.

7) Suggesting potential partners. Part of why we are doing what we do is that we want people to be able to get together face to face fast. At the same time we have realized that from time to time I have found that the cost of travel in both time and money makes this difficult and one or more of the meeting participants needs to call in. We have found Rondee.com is a free and easy way to add multiple people to a conference call so we are recommending them as a possible "location" that meeting participants might want to choose from. check it out.

Finally if you want to know more about the people behind Graceful Tools you might be interested in checking out our family blog. www.kuoparis.com I recently wrote some of my reflections on St. Patrick's day there which many have told me was encouraging and inspiring.

Warmly,
Jon Paris
