Linksify just got a $500K cash infusion from Jon Fisher. I don’t quite get it to be honest. It seems no better than managing your contacts in Google, LinkedIn, and Outlook. In addition, these competitors are certainly established. I signed up to check it out because the company is in a similar space as my company, Lead411. The interface looks fine, but I wasn’t able to upload/sync in contacts. I, first, tried with Google/Gmail and none of my contacts were sync’ed. I tried it multiple times, but none of them were imported. The next thing I tried was an Outlook sync, but this feature is not available yet. I am suprised they would even go through with a beta launch if you don’t have an Outlook sync. Is that your most important feature?
I just got back from my wedding up in Maine yesterday. Great times! 
Coming home I noticed my internet was not working. I couldn’t fix the problem so I had to go out to look for a free wifi spot. I am not that familiar with working outside of my house so I assumed I would just head to Starbucks. I asked the baristas about the wifi and they said it cost $5 an hour, you had to use one of their special cards, and then try to signup online with AT&T. They specifically told me to skip Starbucks and go directly to Dunkin Donuts because they have free wifi! Haha!!! Thanks for the tip!
