Like Nimble Contact, it lets you view social streams from one site, but it connects to several sites beyond Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, like WordPress and MySpace.
#PCMAG BEST FREE CONTACT MANAGER PRO#
The Nimble family has one major competitor, and it's a formidable one: HootSuite (4 stars, free- $5.99/month for Pro version). These advanced editions offer more marketing/sales and collaboration tools in addition to everything available in Nimble Contact. This is true of the free version reviewed here, Nimble Contact, but becomes more evident-and powerful-in the site's paid versions: Nimble Team ($9/user/month), Nimble Sales ($19/user/month), and Nimble CRM ($29/user/month). The site is all about relationships, not just about consolidating much of your online messaging, but seeing the relationships that exist and building new ones. Nimble Contact's founder was also a co-founder of contact management system GoldMine, and this background shows. Using an effective combination of tabs, buttons, and menus in an attractive, intuitive interface, Nimble Contact serves as a clearinghouse of conversations and connections, letting you view your social streams individually or collectively. You give Nimble Contact your login information, and it pulls a good portion of your data in, letting you edit and add records as needed and keeping everything synched. Nimble Contact now offers a simple, clean framework for keeping up with your social media networks simultaneously-it also throws your Google calendar and e-mail messages into the mix.

I grow weary of having to open another tab or window to see what everybody's up to, or to post some news. Many's the time I've wished for a way to check Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn from one place.
