We started with a great address book

Communicate with your contacts from one place, any way you choose. Call, comment, text, tweet, post, IM, email, or update your status with just one touch. Easily add photos, favorites and ringtones. Feel secure knowing that all your contact info is automatically backed up and viewable online. The AddressBook website gives you a great place, apart from your phone, to easily manage your contacts.

Head’s up on what’s up

As fast as your friends can Tweet. Before you can say, “What’s up?” AddressBook brings your friends’ activities across social sites—just from the people and sites you choose—and organizes them by person all in one place. Instead of checking multiple places—Facebook®, Twitter™, Flickr™, Amazon Wish List™, YouTube™—just tap a name to get the latest. 

Want to see what’s new across contacts? Check your history for an at-a-glance recap of recent texts, Tweets, status updates, photo uploads and more. Or, tap on a MixIn for Facebook® or Twitter™ and view just those specific updates. 

Instantly up-to-speed

If you want to know what certain friends are saying even before you open your address book, set instant notifications to keep you in the know. For example, select the types of Facbeook® notifications you want to receive—new photos, status updates, links and notes, and from whom—all the contacts you’re connected to or just your “Favorites”. Get more of what you want and less of what you don’t.

MixIns add story to the book

MixIns bring social content and services into your AddressBook. Eric’s band is playing tonight.  Amy posted a hilarious video. Doug just took your Knight in chess. Respond and interact from one central place.

The ever-expanding MixIn market is like an app store in your AddressBook. You pick the sites and services that matter to you, and then the people you want to be connected with. It’s all customized by you.

The address book with street smarts

Search and save business listings you use frequently as SmartContacts and get names, numbers, mapped directions and more. Coming soon: Say you’re at a friend’s place and want to grab some take-out.  Just scroll to R for Restaurants to find a list of local eateries, see their menus, place an order and get directions. Save your favorite restaurants and orders so you’re just one touch away from your favorite Friday night take-out.  

Matchmaking service included

Does James go by @JDeveloper, BigJJ and JKung@email.com? No worries. AddressBook knows it’s all one person and brings it together in your contacts. If it can’t be instantly sorted out, you’ll be asked to confirm which details should be combined. So you can catch up with BigJJ in one place instead of three.

Plus, all your connections are securely backed up, so if you lose your phone, or get a new one, you can simply enter your account username and password to retrieve your contacts and the social connections you’ve established for Facebook®, Twitter™, and more.
