There is business I can develop over lunch with someone today. The information on that someone is most likely in my e-mail, but by the time I find the details in my message store it will be well after dinner and I will have other things on my mind. Rather than use e-mail as a burgeoning message system, I turned it into a contact management system with gwabbit. But that’s not the end of this story. Gwabbit aims to form relationships from contacts.
Gwabbit is an add-in to Microsoft Outlook, as well as a BlackBerry application, that finds contact information in e-mail messages, parses it, and offers to add it to your address book. The offer can be confirmed, edited, and added to your addresses in one click. When you use gwabbit to add to your contacts (14-day free trial), I would encourage you to add some information in the note field to memorialize the semi-automated addition. After all, a contact is someone you would like to revisit. An additional note can make that happen.
