Your grandmother–the one with the birthday book, so she never forgets a family member’s special day–would approve of Fellowup. It’s a modern-day version of the same thing. It watches your contacts on Facebook and LinkedIn, as well as your Google mail and calendar, and gives you a clear dashboard showing you which of your contacts could benefit from the personal touch today.
In addition to grabbing birth dates from social profiles, it also keeps an eye out for things like relationship and job status changes, and news articles that mention your contacts. It will show you an alert when these things come up, so you have an excuse to make personal contact.
The service also lets you create your own dossiers on your contacts, adding private tags for a person’s interests, for example. With upcoming Google Calendar integration, Fellowup will also be able to ask you for feedback after a meeting with a contact, so you can enter your impressions or to dos.
Fellowup lets you post directly to your contacts’ Facebook walls from within the service, which makes it even easier to pretend you remembered a contact’s birthday. It can also send e-mails.
