Well, I wouldn't do that... there are always some people, you do not want to meet up. I think there should be some limitations to share such an info with the pe

As a user you will only share your calendar and location with the app, your freinds wont see your whole calendar or location information. As an organiser, you will schedule time with couple of friends and the app will give you the best time slots and location for meeting.

  there is a misunderstanding then. when I saw "importing google calender", I misunderstood. can't you use such an app for the universities? you know it is always hard to book and organize many students... schedules always change.. sending an email to all students and informing them at the same time might be problem sometimes.

ok somehow I can't comment on your second link but I am doing here. So university use case is good but thats more of a notification use case, what we are trying to do is to predict a good time and location when a bunch of people are involved. Sure this can be used to schedule a class but generally classes are schedule based on the professor timings and students align thier calendars to it.

  nope. there should be two variables. one is professor's calendar, that's fine but the second one is room availability... both should match... and study rooms are also problem... people can use to book a room and organize a study room for their studies. I'm just trying to ask away by hoping that could give you some clues or ideas =)

    Ok now I got it. This was actually a problem when I was in ASU that has a huge issue with scheduling. I wonder if the schools have an automated process to do this or they do it manually. I am tilting towards it being manual. But you are right, I think schools can be a good market for this :)

  well, I can't comment on your last message too, so here I go. here in sweden we have some scheduling systems for student study rooms, but for the classrooms or halls, no way. and what is nice with your app, to me the most interesting thing with it, it considers location and user preferences, right ? there might be some classes in art business department but nobody knows it and that is why the courses might be cancelled or postponed. by using your app, the closest room with required features might be booked and students could be updated at the same time. that was my idea =)

    Interesting, I like it. What you are saying is basically a more refined idea about apart from the use case of picking the best time and location for a dinner with your friends, this functionality can be used by schools to schedule a class depending upon the user preferences(if they are interested in the design course over at the arts department) and since the app will also have the knowledge of the rooms and halls it can recommend them better scheduling options. By the way, if you dont mind me asking. Are you a Design major or CS major?

      definitely, you got it. my suggestion is turning and creating such apps for internal communication of organizations. trust me, sending mails and asking for permission take time... neither google, nor foursquare can touch internal informations inside an organization. but an app specifically developed for an organization's internal booking and organizing could worth. well, not actually... I have majors in econ and also pols, but I'm a research assistant in engineering department and working in radical innovations =).
