I attended the Social Graph Symposium 2010 http://socialgraphsymp.com/ last week. This was an event hosted by Microsoft & Rapleaf rapleaf.com and was a full day focused on a range of topics and issues involving social media, social networking, the overall social graph and societal implications. There was some great discussion and some conflicting opinions on where this will be leading us. I think it is safe to say that everyone there agrees that the implications of the social graph are significant for business, for politics and for society in general.

With the massive amount of information to sort through, finding everything that you need becomes a difficult and tedious task, especially when that information is dispersed across several different places. Alongside the data mining project that we are currently working on, the problem of contact management has always intrigued us. With some of our customers having well over 25,000 contacts being managed by Constant Contact, and most likely even more information about these contacts and others spread out amongst several other mediums, there had to be a better way to do things, to easily extract valuable information out of that.

Recently I’ve started using NutshellMail. It probably wouldn’t have hit my radar if our company — Constant Contact — hadn’t acquired it, but after learning a little bit about it I decided to give it a whirl.
NutshellMail is an email solution where a person can receive a daily email digest of all the relevant social media interactions going on in that persons social network. It doesn’t hurt that I fit the criteria of a NutshellMail user, someone that on average has too much on their plate to really engage in social media, but still wants to be part of the conversation. After a few days of testing NutshellMail I can already see that it’s going to change my social media experience — and make things a whole lot easier.

We’re pleased to announce QuickView for iPhone 2.0, expected to appear in the App Store in late March 2010. This is a major update, bringing many oft-requested features and enhancements. Please click “Read Entire Article” to learn more.
It’s so helpful. Thanks a lot.
