For almost every business professional, contact management and networking go hand in hand. How about when you don’t have your contact list available to you? What now?

Over the weekend I started playing with a website called Soocial. You may have heard about it. I have only just begun using this service, but I can immediately tell you it solved one of my biggest problems that I have had for many years in about 30 minutes.

Soocial.com is a contact management service that takes all your contacts from different sources (Gmail, Outlook, Windows Live, Yahoo, Windows Mobile, Blackberry etc…) and allows you to merge them so you have one consistent list. It lets you clean up duplicates, add more details to contacts, and overall makes life easier.

I highly recommend this service, even though they are still working hard at developing it.

Good luck Soocial!
