Connected - has it finally cracked contact relationship management for the social media world?
Been having a look at Connected - which claims to offer contact management without the work and I reckon this has got promise. I know we’ve been here before (Plaxo never seemed to live up to it’s original potential particularly) but Connected seems to do a very good job of keeping all of your contacts in one place, plus keeping a record of your communications with them (E-mail, Twitter, Facebook, Google Voice, LinkedIn) and even E-mails you if they have a job change (LinkedIn), it’s their birthday (Facebook) as well as linking their contact record to any relevant news stories on the web. I like the look of everything about it except the price, at $9.99 per month it is going to have to offer real value, but it has got a 14 day free trial, and includes a mobile app and a Gmail sidebar, both of which could be useful. Trying also to work out where the crossovers are with Rapportive although that seems much more Gmail focussed to me (which suits me just fine). Anyone else using it?

I’ve been using Rapportive and have to agree that it’d take a lot to justify paying for this alternative when there’s awesome stuff for free
