Ask HN: Personal CRM for individuals?
My inboxes are full and my phone contacts are overflowing. I have been accumulating (but not curating) contacts and connections. There are a lot of very talented people in my rolodex, and many others that need them.
Trick is, when I promise someone I would find the one person that can help them, I am stuck staring at my email client, managing gigs worth of emails, and I just can't remember that person that I need.
How do you manage this?
Along with name and contacts, I want to tag people by geographic location, talents, and other snippets to help me find them.
For me, messages are immaterial; I respond to email promptly and don't look back at it (if it's a contract or work related, I keep a hardcopy); I want to tag and manage PEOPLE. How?
FWIW, I use Thunderbird with Googl Apps and other accounts.
