I am the type of person who makes friends easily and makes strong connections with lots and lots of people (I have over 2000 FB friends, and a good 85% of them are people I've had meaningful and memorable RW interaction with). It's becoming really really important that I make a systematic inventory of who I know, how I know them, who they work for, where they live, and what they do. Fortunately, I've got some labor this summer that can help me out with this.<br> <br> I use lots of Google services (I have a Motodroid and use Gmail, Gcal, Gcontacts, others), so I suspect using labels in Google Contacts is going to be optimum, but if there's something better out there, I want to explore it. And even if not, I need to figure out how best to organize within Google Contacts.<br> <br> Thoughts? post:ask.metafilter.com,2012:site.217094 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 16:11:11 -0800 michaeldunaway computers contacts google organization By: wongcorgi http://ask.metafilter.com/217094/How-to-organize-contacts-systematically#3133421 Not sure this is overkill for what you want but <a href="http://highrisehq.com/">Highrise</a>. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2012:site.217094-3133421 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 16:17:18 -0800 wongcorgi By: jacalata http://ask.metafilter.com/217094/How-to-organize-contacts-systematically#3133430 It sounds like you might want to look into actual <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Customer_relationship_management">CRM </a>(Customer Relationship Management) solutions, which are designed around this kind of detailed contact management and tracking. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2012:site.217094-3133430 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 16:32:47 -0800 jacalata By: COD http://ask.metafilter.com/217094/How-to-organize-contacts-systematically#3133555 I came in to recommend Highrise - so seconded. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2012:site.217094-3133555 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 18:30:32 -0800 COD
