A REAL address book
juman | May 15 2006
One thing in my "system" I am constantly changing is my addressbook as I am never really satisfied with what it gives. In the end I should just settle with one and get the info organzized into it but I have yet to find one which gives me all of what I want or at least a part of it first. To take some typical things that make me look into my addressbook looking for information is the following : * What number does Mr Soandso have? *duh* So I want to have quite a lot of information in there but still haven't find and software that gives me something of the above. Something that is a bit interesting is : But still that is just a XML specification so it leaves a bit to wish for... any other ideas what I can use? /juman 5 Comments

 On OS X, Address Book...Submitted by enine on May 15, 2006 - 8:01am.

On OS X, Address Book will do most of these. The last point is where I would like to see some advancements made in address book software in general. For instance, I have a record for my friend Michael and one for his wife Andrea because they have separate mobile numbers. When I enter the spouse name for one (or better yet, select it from my address book), it should populate the same in the other. So, when I choose Andrea for Michael's spouse, Andrea's spouse field should automatically fill in. It should also recognize duplicate addresses for different people, and depending on what kind of address it is (Home or Work) it should know to ask for the relationship between the two people. So, if I enter the address for Andrea and Michael both without naming one as the spouse of the other, it should be smart enough to recognize that and ask me if there is a special relationship between the two or if they are just roommates or some such. This won't always work though as not all spouses change their name, or some hyphenate it so you have to have the ability to keep them seperate. » POSTED IN:
