[IT] Anyone Heard of Gist?

When I stumbled upon this website,

earlier today, I thought to myself: "Hey! This is an idea that I have thought of a year ago." Well, it looks like since I did nothing about it someone else did. The idea is simply a website to reorganize online social information. In other words, you can look up anyone's name in your contact list and see the person's contact info, latest meetings, recent tweets, status updates, emails, and potential people that both of you know. 

A very simple idea but a very necessary one in our modern age where some of us into social networking have at least five different ways of connecting with people online and checking every single one and correlating between them gets very tedious or confusing. I only wish that I had started working on this a year ago. Ah well. Can't win them all. The project I'm currently working on should show some promise in a month or so: VbizMirror.
