Keeping your contacts up-to-date = Not Easy.

Have any of your friends or colleagues changed jobs recently, or added a new social media account?  Chances are, if these contacts are not sharing their information changes with you personally, your address book might be out of date.  It’s funny in the age of cloud computing — where information can be available anywhere –  to realize that many of us still keep our address book information in silos, not updating that information unless we have to move or close that account.

At Gist, we’re building the Real-Time Address Book that you can use across different computers and systems to make sure you have the most up-to-date information about your contacts.  Whether you’re using Gist in your email (Outlook or Gmail), in your CRM (Salesforce), or on your mobile (iPhone and Android), Gist builds complete business profiles for your contacts and makes sure that you can keep all of that contact information in one place, updated, in real-time.  Have trouble remembering that your friend Simon uses a different handle on Twitter than his name on email or his record on Facebook?  We can help with that.

Gist = more real-time address information in one place.

Gist makes the act of keeping your contacts up-to-date much easier than having lots of information silos everywhere.  Whether you want to build your list in Gist, read that contact list from another source like Google Contacts, or make your mobile the center of your world, your Real-Time Address Book is waiting for you online.

It’s hard to keep track of what everyone in your network is doing. That’s why we created Gist. Gist helps you build professional relationships by serving you the right information at the right moment to get a meeting, deliver an amazing pitch, or just find a better way to make a connection. We would love you to try out Gist here.
