Trying Gist

1

What will you do?

I'll evaluate http://www.gist.com/index.html for a week. I'll import my contacts, and see what it says.

2

How will you test your idea and measure success?

Just trying it. To evaluate usefulness: It must blow me away and show significant value around staying in touch with prospective clients. If it's as powerful as my current system, and easier, then I'll consider using it.

3

How will you know you are done?

After a week.

4

How will you enjoy the journey?

If I'm contacted by their CEO (as promised) I'll offer to evaluate for a fee :-)

Sacha Chua Tried it out, stopped using it, now back to using it after starting a number of mentoring relationships. Spending time to set up tags and importance can make a difference in the value you get from the dashboard.
