Ask HN: How to create contact from email/gmail signature?

1 points by jsarch 15 years ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


I've finally found the source of my frustration with the virtual rolodex: creating the contact.

A fantastic feature of the physical rolodex is that one needs to simply place the business card in the rolodex to "create" a contact.

Since email is a dominant form of communication and source of new contacts, does anyone know of a simple way to parse the email signature to create a contact?

(Personally, I don't care if the virtual rolodex is 37Signals Highrise, Apple AddressBook, or Gmail Contacts because I'd be willing to switch if I could create/sync contacts with a "click".)

When I was on Windows I used Copy2Contact (nee Anagram)[1], and loved it. It looks like they now have an iPhone version and a Google Apps version on the way.
