\nIt’s easy these days to get overwhelmed by the continuous stream of information that comes at you through social media, and e-mail. <\/strong>A while back, I discovered a great tool to help cut through some of the noise. It’s called Gist, and it brings your contacts into one place to give you a full view of your network, making it easy to find anyone, anytime. You see email addresses, phone numbers, work details and more, all assembled and updated automatically. You can also directly ask your contacts to provide their latest information by requesting a profile update.<\/p>\n

I’ve been using it to help kind of take the pulse of my inbox and social network each morning, so I can prioritize my follow-up<\/strong>. It’s also great for getting some background on people you are meeting with each day. And it can be\u00a0 used in GMail (including hosted Google Apps Mail), Outlook and Lotus Notes, and works on your iPhone or Android phone.<\/p>\n

Check it out and you’ll probably agree that Gist helps you stay organized while monitoring your mail, your calendar, and your network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
