It seems that everyday a new social platform is coming out and with it comes the connections, followers and the unwieldy task of managing this across all of different ways we now have to communicate.
The other day Bryan Eisenberg suggested I try out a new tool call Gist and all I can say is that this is a game changer (Thanks Bryan!). Gist goes where all of the other contact social networks/tools have failed and that is taking the information you have gathered and pulling it all together to build a profile (or dossier as they call it) on each of your connections. From this the Gist platform becomes a powerful contact management tool providing real-time information from across the Internet (blogs, updates, news, twitter, status updates, etc) as well as promoting the contacts that are most important delivering a dashboard on your social graph in real time.
Gist currently has integrations with Outlook, Gmail, Google Contacts, Linkedin, Salesforce, Facebook and Twitter plus the ability to import through CSV, vCard as well as IMAP integration. They have an iPhone app and just announced today an Outlook plugin.
They have only been around since Sept and I am very excited to see where they take this, it still has some improvements / tweaking required but I have seen change over the couple of weeks I have been using it. Plus they really care about the end user, I've had multiple conversations with Greg Meyer, their Customer Experience manager, where he was soliciting feedback on what they need to focus on next.
I would strongly suggest that everyone try Gist out - it only took me about 10 mins to start and it was well worth it.
