Highrise thoughts? Anyone?

I think I like it.

But the emailing-things-into-highrise doesn't work as expected.

I think it could be interesting and useful for me to manage my personal relationships, but my professional ones not-so-much. I'd really like if I could do a ring-back connect thing via phone like GrandCentral lets you do. <3 the GrandCentral.

Josh, could you possibly elaborate on this?

AFAICT, there are no "labels" in Highrise. I guess you mean tags, but using tags as contexts for tasks would require being able to display a list of all tasks filtered by context. I can't find a way to do that.
I tried to use cases as projects, but was lost completely.

Please note that by profession I need people to work as just that, people, with all the related functionality (albeit I might give up "company", I could put that in a note). In general, I cannot abuse any functionality of Highrise to double as something completely different, like when I attempted to shoehorn GTD into Basecamp ("People" as contexts).

I've been through both Basecamp and Backpack now to make something work for GTD, but no success yet.
Highrise still looks promising, though.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
