Contact Management Software

Kevin Day, November 22nd, 2009

There’s a lot of contact management software out there.  I don’t know if it’s just me, but none of them seem to fit the way that I work.  Just managing the contacts for my fantasy football website quickly becomes overwhelming.

That’s why I’m developing Launch Pulse, a new kind of contact management application.  It’s going to have about 1/20th of the features of all the other programs out there.  And yes, I am aware of Highrise by 37Signals.  Fewer features than even that.  I’m not sure yet if it anyone else will feel the same about it, but I like using it already in it’s alpha state.

How is it different? It won’t sync with your Outlook or Gmail contacts.   It isn’t tied to your email system at all.  But it is flexible.  I think the initial target audience will be people using Customer Development because it requires talking to a lot of people and managing responses and feedback.  However, I think it could later be expanded to manage contacts for weddings, job searches, and anything else.

It’s not available yet, but you can leave your email address on the website (no spam) to get notified first when it enters public beta.
