contact like calendar management is a massively Unsolved problem online. however this approach (a sort of yellow pages for everyone) barely scratches the surface.

there are many very good reasons for me to keep a copy (perhaps a local cache) of my own contacts details, but the big one for me is what did I contact them about, when and why. there are a few services attacking these - writethatname, ActiveInbox - but it's all a bit over the place. for example I am struggling to co-ordinate call logs on iPhone and Skype - hell I cannot even get my call logs off iPhone.

this is not a solution I fear to the main issue - logging contact events, not updating contact details
