LinkedIn
This was recommended to me today, and I was somewhat dubious. Ah, another Friendster clone, I thought. Well, yes, in fact, it is -- but built for business. This is the sort of thing that, if done right, could wipe out ACT! and take over the contact management market. Hell, if it synced to my cell phones I'd even shell out actual money for it. What really surprised me was that in my first pass through my address book 34 people I knew were already members. Some of them actually even seem to have used it (though there were only about 8 of them with more than 2 contacts). An old friend even found me, though he has ~400 contacts and probably takes it pretty seriously.
