JotForm is the easiest form builder I have found and love it. You can create a variety of forms for your websites with up to 100 submission in any given month for free. No HTML knowledge required, simple drag and drop options that will give you a fully customized form for your websites.
Tungle Me is a scheduling application that syncs with your existing calendar. It saves me so much time by allowing me to schedule appointments and meetings without the hassle of trying to figure out convenient times due to time zone differences.
Since I can sync it with my blackberry calendar, whenever I have a request for a meeting, I can simply refer people to my Tungle Me calendar and they can easily choose a time that is convenient for both of us. We both receive a confirmation when a time has been chosen and it automatically updates my calendar.
