So I’ve raved about CRM systems and managing personal contact information, but now I have a solution, which I hope someone has already built.
Someone needs to build a bookmarklet that lets you highlight contact information, and then with the click of a button send it to the right contact management tool (outlook, highrise, salesforce, etc).
I hate copying and pasting over the address, then the phone number, then their name….. the whole time worrying about errors in my data input.
You could highlight text in an email signature in gmail, you could highlight text on people’s websites, and then the bookmarklet would recognize the address, phone number, email, fax, and put them in the right places for that particular contact manager.
Obviously we would love an automated version that just recognized signatures in your inbox (Mac mail may have something like this), but a rapid contact importing tool like this would be the first step.
