One thing I like about HN is that it (usually) steers clear of politics. I hope it remains that way. There are other venues, including many technology-related sites, where there is plenty of political discussion.
I love the idea of a personal CRM. However, I hate the idea of duplication of effort. If you can't create interfaces to these other apps, then perhaps make sure you create an interface to IFTTT with enough control that would let me aggregate my data (phone calls, emails, etc.) to folks in Monica without user intervention.
