Batchbook Reinvents CRM [an edgy technology]
Everybody needs a good way to keep track of relationships. For some of us, a quick trip to Barnes & Nobles yields a slim leather address book that does what we need.
If you happen to know more than a few dozen people you may just throw everybody into LinkedIn and use that platform to manage who you know (and who knows them).
Over the last ten years, the idea of CRM has been pretty mainstream -- with Salesforce setting the standard for how CRM can really be an enterprise platform for running everything that we do. Sadly, it's bulky and no longer charming. A lot of...

Edgy Technology: Get In Your Stribe. Connect Better.If all this hoopla about the social graph and Facebook privacy settings hasn't made you want to jump off a cliff, if you find it mildly interesting to connect with people, if you have a message, an audience, and the passion to share -- Stribe is your lucky day.
Stribe has been around for almost a year now -- running their social-reingeneering in super-beta mode. They have thousands of websites signed up and the team instead decided to keep the review of their product focused until they were ready to go crazy man.
That day came last week. Stribe is now available for you.
Ohhh.... Wondering what the heck it does in the first place.
It turns your website (your...

Edgy Technology: Competitious Compares Competitors Expertly
Your clients NEVER care how much you are the same with your competition. They always want to know what makes you different. Special. Better for them.
So that means you need to know before they ask you.
So that requires you knowing a lot about your core strengths. How you do it better than the other guys -- even if they might be better than you overall. (Shocker - you might not be selling the "best" product in your space.)
And how better to compare than to call out everyone else taking up space in your industry.
Competitious [ link] is the best edgy technology to help you do...

Edgy Technology: MindMeister Maps your Mind.
Ever have a great idea and then forget it three minutes later when someone jumps into your office asking for help?
Or how about the problem of not seeing the world as a series of consecutive steps?
What if, to you, everything is kind of inter-related?I know about that. That's how my brain works.
It's not about a series of steps, it's about the relationship between these steps, your edgy ideas, and the people they involve.
It's about mapping your mind.
And a product like MindMeister hits a homerun in making that possible.

Edgy Technology: Quantcast Profiles your Audience
"Who really cares?"
We've all asked ourselves that that question at one time or another. Right?
You are busy in your cause and sometimes it feels like it's hard to connect with the community. You hear them. You just can't see them.
This is even more true with with Twitter [my link] and Facebook [my link] and the rise in virtual relationships.
Knowing more about your audience, let's you provide any more value.

Edgy Technology: Let Feedly Feed your Mind.
Knowing more certainly isn't the silver bullet for ultimate high-performance. But it sure gives you more ammo to take down your elephant.
You don't sell more because you know more (necessarily). You sell more because what you know allows you to solve a specific pain that your customer might have.
Knowing more then becomes a matter of balancing:
- What you should know with
- How much time you can dedicate to knowing
Right?
Swing too far one way or the other and you find yourself operating much less than a high performer.
RSS feeds do a good job of keeping that balance.

Edgy Technology: Threadsy Combines the Conversation.
Do you have 37 ways for people to get a a hold of you?
Work email. Personal email. Legacy AOL email. Unused Yahoo email addresses. Twitter direct messages. Facebook emails....
It can be exhausting trying to remember to check all the places where you have conversations.
Let alone checking each one regularly so you don't let something worthwhile lapse.
You start a conversation on Gmail, then you send a @DM on Twitter, and next thing you know there are seven new Facebook messages waiting for you in your inbox.
That's where Threadsy saves the day.
Think of Threadsy as Outlook, Tweetdeck, and Xobni all rolled into...

Edgy Technology: Conference Calls Become Intimate
You've been there before. Right. You are pulling together high-level dudes into a discussion and you need to have a conference call.
Ring.... Ring.... You dial into your conference call line and this is what you hear: " This conference call brought to you by the cheap executive on the other end of the line..."OK. So I am exaggerating a little.
It doesn't actually say that, but it's something similar like "Brought to you by Free Conference.com".
Am I the the only one who cringes? Does any one else think what I am thinking - that it stinks to have your conference service shouting at your client that you can't afford to...
