WriteThat.Name Keeps Your Gmail Contacts Up-to-Date
Summary
Keeping an email address book up-to-date is a fairly labor-intensive task, which is why we’ve seen the launch of a number of products that attempt to automate the process, such as Xobni, Plaxo’s Personal Assistant and Gist. An app joining this crowded market is Kwaga’s WriteThat.Name, which works with Gmail and Google Apps (s goog), automatically scanning incoming emails for the contact information that’s typically contained in email signatures, and then updating the contact database with that information. If you choose the manual option, you’ll get a daily email asking you to confirm contact updates before adding them to the address book, as shown in the screenshot above. That’s cheaper than Plaxo’s Personal Assistant tool, which costs around $7 per month, but then Kwaga’s app will only update the address book with information that’s contained in the emails your receive. WriteThat.Name is perhaps more similar to tools such as gwabbit and Copy2Contact, Windows apps that can automatically extract contact information from Outlook (s msft) emails.
