Linksify Funding and Review

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?
