telepark.contact: Tag Based Contact Management

7 comments »

Munich, Germany based telepark has launched telepark.contact, a tag based online contact management platform, as part of their presentation at Innovate!Europe 2007.

telepark is selling the new service as the “Flickr of Contact Management”, and although it’s easy to groan at the comparison, it didn’t stop me taking a look.

telepark.contact allows users to easily define any number of contact groups using tags. Personalized emails can then be sent with one click, to as many as 4000 people at a one time.

Users can add any number of tags to any contact allowing for the creation of separate as well as overlapping groups of people. The platform is supported by a tag-optimized selection system that builds on a platform that in theory allows for a greater scope of people segmentation than many existing contact management systems.

The system also supports the dynamic creation of input fields. If you’ve got a friend with 5 mobile phone numbers this is going to work a treat.

The service goes live on May 16 and starts at €249.

I can only assume that all these new web-based contact management tools are the result of the complete and utter decline of LinkedIn.

Interesting service that may be valuable to a select few. A smarter pricing model would create a low barrier to entry given that it’s going to be a pain in the ass to get all the info in there, build some social networking in, and slowly increase the price.

For some reason, I think I’ll stick with Stikkits from Stikkit.com for managing my “peeps”. 4k contacts at a time? That sounds more like a spamming tool than a contact management tool.

It’s not a service but a commercial, Ajax-powered Web application (PHP) to buy, download and upload to your own Web server or hosted webspace.

You pay one time only (nice).

Thanks Patrick, that wasn’t clear from the write-up.

- I wouldn’t trust a major company with my personal contacts; I mean these are my leads they are what I have; I would rather write them on paper and call them - or email them 1 by 1 …

- this may be working for mass marketers
