Highrise Shared Contact Manager
Friday, February 16, 2007: Reviews
37Signals will be launching a “shared contact manager” called Highrise. I of course have signed up, for me, this just affirms that putting a contact manager online is not such a bad idea.
Why they build it:
Knowing the history of a company’s past interaction with people is a great way to save time and make future conversations more valuable.
The scenarios they try to solve:
- See all follow-ups scheduled for this week
- Review Susan’s notes before calling her contact at the printer
- Set a reminder to write Steve a thank-you note next Friday
- Review all conversations I’ve had with Chris from Apple
- Organize interview responses for potential candidates online
- See a list of all the designers your company has hired in the past
- Enter notes from a call with a potential client
- See all the people your company knows at The New York Times
- Schedule a follow-up sales call with Jim in 3 months
- Review all the people tagged “Leads 2006”
After reading, this I believe the Plaid is a worthy product. Now if we can just get it into some testers hands.

Tim, matt heerema turned me on to plaid and i have to say, as a pastor and a web designer i am highly anticipating this release. just wish i knew rails and could help you out. just wanted to affirm that yes, this is indeed a very worthy product. i tried highrise but there are a lot of limitations to its use for churches…
