PRODUCTIVITY: How do you manage your contacts and data?

Friday, January 26, 2007

I’m frustrated with the lack of the “killer application” comprehensive Contact Management.

Plaxo has a fragment of it (The great external pariticpation). LinkedIn has a fragment of it (The Bio and Connection). Corex Cardscan has a fragment of it (The rolodex metaphor). Outlook has a fragment of it (Speaks to Plaxo and Corex). Act has a fragment of it (the Sales Funnel). But no one has “it” (i.e., Like, in Lord of the Rings, One Ring to control them all).

I’ve even thought about writing my own app using MySQL. But, that’s a daunting task. Several have tried in Fat Client or Web-based, but they didn’t capture “it”. So I wonder if “it” is capture-able.

So does anyone else share my frustration? Sometimes I think I’d be better off with paper and pencil!

Fustratedly,
Fjohn

101.5 is reporting the gutting of all the proposed property tax savings bills in Trenton. Why is this surprising? It’s business as usual for the thugs in Trenton who steal our money. It’s slavery.
