Rick,

Understandable. Gist seems to be gaining some momentum. Personally, I’m sick of going from FB to Twitter to LI looking for contacts and would prefer them in one place. I recommend that you read the legalese on the Gist website to determine if you own the data. Gist I do not know but on FB you do not. Personally, I have put phone numbers and fliers on bathroom walls and stalls and have used this method to successfully to hire candidates. I have their undivided attention for 5-15 minutes and there is at least a 95% read or open rate (much greater than email or direct mail marketing). Besides, my phone number is all over this website. Is that really any different?

Thanks for the comments,

Jessica

I have concerns about “upload all your contacts to one location”. Contact information should be treated with more respect than to mindlessly dump into 2nd & 3rd party data handlers. I wouldn’t put your phone number up on a bathroom wall or share it with anyone without your consent. Why would anyone think it’s okay to upload my contact information into a cloud data base without my permission?

You should also try Silentale, a tool that can really help multi-connected professionals to stay in control of all the information related to their contacts and conversations.
Silentale consolidates the different profiles of your contacts across emails, twitter, linkedin, facebook, etc, and automatically indicates how many messages you’ve exchanged with them, whatever the channel you used.
Not only you get a constantly updated 360Â° view of your network, but you’re able to immediately see if you’ve already communicated with someone and in the latter case, explore your multi-channel communication thread, search for keywords, retrieve attachments, etc.
Silentale is a Saas service and is available via a web interface and a series of extensions (eg. Firefox and soon the iPhone).
It is in private beta and still available for free to testers. If you or one of your readers is interested in trying out Silentale, just send us a tweet @silentale and request an invitation code.

I have been using Hootsuite and find that it can do 1-3 above and all for free. I would highly recommend checking it out.
