"An online tool for managing and making sense of professional connections, relationships. and communication can only function when you're sitting in front of your computer. Often times it's when you're on the move and running behind, however, when access to those contact records, company profiles, and news items are crucial.\nGist, which we've already dubbed the power networker's fantasy service for syncing social media data with email connections, has just launched their free iPhone app to tackle that challenge head on.The app provides an elegant mobile interface for accessing your Gist account and works to aggregate and prioritize news, events, and social media content around your contacts and companies. It's the essential complimentary iPhone app for those who procrastinate and wait until the last minute to prep for a big meeting.\n\nAfter installing and launching the app, you can log in to your Gist account and get a dashboard view of all the news, blog posts, and tweets from people or companies listed in reverse chronological order and based on user-defined priorities. You can also filter for just news, just blog posts, or just tweets, search, and drill down into events pulled in from your Outlook Calendar. The People and Categories tab will highlight the latest news around contacts, which you can then order by importance or name.\n\nThe way the Gist iPhone organizes information is probably the most impressive feature. Say you're trying to plan ahead for a meeting with a contact. You can pull up the event, select it, get a map within the app, view meeting attendees, and select an attendee to pull up their contact record and view aggregated news, events, tweets, exchanged email messages, and attachments associated with the individual. It could be the most convenient way to track down an email thread, attachment, or quick contact fact on a mobile phone.\nGist is by no means the perfect service. After continual usage, you'll notice that sometimes information is categorized incorrectly, and taking the time to prioritize contacts can be a pain. These pain points hold true in the iPhone app as well. Despite its flaws, however, the wealth of information that is made available to you wherever you need it \u2014 within Outlook, via Salesforce, online, and on your iPhone \u2014 is quite remarkable.\nImage courtesy of iStockphoto, nautilus_shell_studios."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
