“I can't possibly be the only one. And I can't be the only one whose address book is a complete and total mess.”

 

 “I have tried numerous times to dedicate some time to fixing this horrible mess. But in all honesty, I don't even know where to begin”

 

“Trying to keep an accurate address book when many of my friends are artists is enough to make me nuttier than a Hell's Kitchen night club”

 

 “previously I've had to scramble through old messages/DMs/emails/whatsapps every time I needed an address…  that was a terrible system”

 

“I shouldn't be responsible for updating your job title and email address when you change employers.”

 

 “Updating my address book from this year’s Christmas cards. Maybe if I start in March, I'll actually get cards out this year?”

 

“How does your contact list look, folks? Neat? Orderly? Or is it pure chaos and disorder?”

 

 “I keep waiting for a magic solution to land in my lap to sort out hundreds of contacts and trying to figure out which are totally false.”

"I don’t trust social media  way too public!"

My wife put it well when I asked her today,

 "eew, I don't want to put my home address on Facebook".
 

"Just realized that Skype sends add requests to your
address book contacts by itself. Ridiculous."

"LinkedIn creeps me the hell out with their
connection suggestions"

You have to trust the site itself

When I did an update, it took me hours of searching.
The task was not easily achieved, scrounging through
my email archives, text messages, and manually
entered address book info.

There are robot apps that do this but I cannot depend
on their accuracy

We’ve seen a ton of address book apps for the smart
phones, but most have struggled because they rely on
social network integration that tends to break after a
few months.

When's the last time you viewed your own "about" tab
(let alone someone else's contact info) in a social
network? It's out of sight, out of mind.
