I've been thinking about hacking Wordpress (private/local copy) to do something similar- one blog entry for each person, comments on my interactions with them. Everything's chronological, searchable... and if I can find a plugin for calendar reminders, that'll clinch it.<br/><br/>Currenly I'm using my Thunderbird address book and Google Calendar for (a paltry number of) birthday reminders, but that system leaves something to be desired.

This is funny. Guess what book I read this weekend? Keith Ferrazzi's "Never Eat Alone." I feel a little bit transparent right about now. I'll be sure to give Highrise a look... I seem to recall seeing it repeatedly on Lifehacker (always a good sign). Haha. This is funny. Guess what book I read this weekend?

It's a people-centric to-do list organizer. It practically has the "never eat alone" philosophy built-in.<br/><br/>I don't know whether you only facebook close friends, but I like adding people I meet as a way of solidifying and maintaining the acquaintanceship. I've found that strategy useful. I already know what my close friends are up to anyway (and for some reason a lot of them are anti-facebook). Hey,
