Is there any alternative?

Been following these guys for a while since they were in an adjacent space to us. Sad to see them go.

We're officially releasing this post-holiday madness: http://hobsonfiles.com/signup

It's a contact/task manager/collab tool which is useful in reminding you to follow-up with contacts but we solve the problem differently.

It supports LinkedIn, Gmail and Facebook. I find it really useful to catch up on things I miss out on in the streams...

I've used both Gist.com and Rapportive.com...

To my knowledge, neither has a "days since contact" feature.

Agreed --- going to miss etacts, and hope one of the other companies can build something similar in. I need something that will automatically remind me to contact people within the network.

"... and hope one of the other companies can build something similar in..." Well, EmailOracle is very similar and it is closing too, exactly on Jan 31, 2011

I used Etacts with Gmail and I prefer it over Rapportive, Mingly, and Gist. I'm not sure what I'll switch to.
