Microsoft Outlook + Plaxo http://www.plaxo.com

Outlook is my primary work e-mail client and contact manager. I use Google Calendar for calendaring. I connect Outlook w/ Plaxo (it’s free) and I can access an on-line copy of my contacts on plaxo.com from anywhere. I can also add or modify contacts on Plaxo and the changes sync w/ Outlook.

I have a plugin called Ultimate Tag Warrior that allows you to add multiple tags beyond the categories managed by Wordpress. The reason for those extra tags is it then shows up for those tags in Technorati and any other blog search engines that use tags. Ah, good question Mark.

I was going to email you about it, but I know you are busy with other things - like earning a living! - and I thought possibly other readers would like to know your answer, as well. I'm working on a new WordPress website for mcbuzz.com, trying to hammer out some of the organizational stuff like categories, menus, etc. You do a really nice job with this on your blog. Here's the question. I subscribe to your RSS feed via Feedburner e-mail and you usually have several tags or categories assigned to a post there. For the May 1 post on Clicky, you tagged it with: clicky, feedburner, RSS and Web Analytics. But in the email, these are just links to the Clicky post on your blog. Of these tags, "Web Analytics" is the only one in use as a category on your blog. So... what is the relationship between the four tags in the Feedburner email and the category on your blog? How does Feedburner "know" about the four tags? Do you have to add those manually? Thanks!! Pat,

I actually use it as a checklist for things I'm working on. After the initial setup (which was time consuming) it's now saving me loads of time. I sync it with my Moto Q via CompanionLink - they may have something similar for the Blackberry. It's nice to be on the road and have the tasks / appointments / contacts with me. Reminds me of all the things I don't have time to do :-) I use ACT and find it essential to keep track of contacts, appointments, and tasks.

I haven't used it myself yet, and I'm not sure if it can do all that you want, but it might be worth checking out. http://www.highrisehq.com/ I know 37 signals just came out with a contact manager called Highrise.
