Cool idea - I have the same problem and once started tracking a "last contact date" in my OS X address book. Then I had an AppleScript that would go through and check that date and give me 3,6,9 month reminders.

I'd love something that would connect with Twitter and automatically identify when I say "we should meet up" with somebody and remind me to meet up. Because I nearly always forget when I say that, especially if the person is in another city.

Thanks for the great validation that we're on the right track. The idea came up specifically because we had the pain ourselves. When I first ran the prototype on my own email, I was shocked at how long it had been since I'd touched base with a whole lot of people.

The Twitter idea is really interesting... Location-based reminders. Hmmm I'm going to ponder that some more. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! Love the idea of twitter integration. Auto-generation of tasks/reminders is in our feature backlog.
