As a member of the Sidgwick Librarians Group, I have contributed to Doodle polls which were used to organise group meetings and lunches, and have found them to be a useful tool. I particularly like the ability they give individuals to add comments. I plan to use Doodle software to organise steering group meetings for the South Asia Archive and Library Group, which with participants based in London, Cambridge and Edinburgh, working in a mix of academic, national and special libraries, can be difficult to organise. I may even use the software to agree the occasional day's leave with my husband!
Has anyone managed to add Doodle to their own iGoogle page? I have failed - the normal 'add stuff', 'add feed or gadget' route failed, and I could not locate the relevant Doodle software from the browsable list. I am not likely to forget the URL however, so it is not a big problem!
You can add the iGoogle Doodle (nice rhyme!) widget from Doodle's website too. Worth a try:

Many thanks, Rachel - successful! I discovered that it is important to have the right tag open on your iGoogle page too...
