SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - December 15, 2008) - The TimeBridge Personal Scheduling
Assistant continues its strong viral growth, eclipsing 200,000 users at
more than 12,000 businesses who have turned to TimeBridge to solve their scheduling dilemmas and
help share availability across time zones, calendars and companies. During
the past year, TimeBridge has grown more than 30% each month, doubling
every 3 months.
"TimeBridge is far and away the world's largest scheduling network,
providing both visibility into the availability of colleagues, friends and
family, as well and the necessary tools to automate the hassle of
scheduling meetings with them," said Yori Nelken, founder and CEO of
TimeBridge. "Every week we're adding on average 10,000 new users who are
eagerly integrating it into their lives to save time and increase their
productivity. This accelerated growth points directly to the time-suck of
scheduling in people's lives and how useful TimeBridge is."
In a recent survey of TimeBridge users, 90% percent said they have
recommended TimeBridge to friends and colleagues. This level of
satisfaction and spirit of collaboration marks the spread of TimeBridge use
from one busy professional to another.
TimeBridge has also received a bevy of glowing reviews from journalists,
bloggers and users. This year TimeBridge was ranked one of Gartner's "Cool
Vendors in the High-Performance Workplace, 2008," (April 4, 2008, Gartner,
Inc.), and received an 85 out of 100 point review from
PCWorld. Recent commentary includes:

About TimeBridge
TimeBridge has created the first Personal Scheduling Assistant to give busy
professionals a faster, more efficient way to schedule their time.
TimeBridge's one-step scheduling is the most efficient way to schedule
meetings with large groups or individuals across time zones, calendaring
systems and companies. TimeBridge allows users to easily schedule meetings,
share their availability with others, and connect directly with calendars
including Outlook, Google Calendar and Apple iCal. While online calendars
help users track their time, TimeBridge facilitates the social, and often
complex process of getting busy people together -- in person, on the phone
or online. TimeBridge is backed by blue-chip venture capital firms Mayfield
Fund and Norwest Venture Partners. For more information, go to
