Online address book
-
The address book what comes with hotmail works very well for me. You might want to move the calender thing too there as well, so that you'll have everything organised in one place. I tried using the gmail address book earlier and I must agree that it was very bad, when you had to export/import. I found it was not very compatible with Outlook. However, the gmail calender is very good.

Doesn't it ship with a good aggressive Duplicate Contacts fix tool?

Contacts is rather restricted. I believe it is just paltry 1000 right?

Everything was messed up when I did an import.

Well, if you have lots of *friends* from myspace, facebook and other similar crap social networking sites, then I think you'll need such a huge limit to store the details of such important contacts.

Since I'm a terribly unorganised person, I'm currently trying to set up central repositories for various information. I've currently set up google calendar with important dates (hopefully I'll never forget another birthday!) and now I'm looking for a good online address book. Basically I want to be able to keep track of people's email addresses and snailmail addresses in one centralised place, and ideally be able to keep this information synced with my thunderbird client at home. I've considered using gmail's address book, but that feels a little clunky when I'm not actually using gmail for my email (and I couldn't find a decent thunderbird sync) Does anyone have any recommendations?
Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!
Why don't you put it on Wikipedia. That way everyone can keep up with the corrections and address changes for you. And it's free!
