A good left-brained friend of mine was dating heavily in the late 2000s as he was in "wife finding mode". He had a spreadsheet -- called girls.xls -- where he kept track of important details about each woman he went on a date with. We were sitting around musing about how hard it must be to keep track of the key details given all the dates he was going on, and he let drop that he had a spreadsheet. He never showed it…
After the divorce he discovered a bug in his VLOOKUP.
Narcissist flag was missing in my original dataset.
SalesForce is business - leaking business data is not that problematic. This, is about storing extremely delicate information about people. It better has top notch protection against data breach massive fines will be coming soon.

is this supposed to be sarcastic? it's exactly the opposite.

I don't really consider myself left-brained, but I've always had a hard time remembering names. Partially because I'm not great at empathizing with folks I just meet, and partially because I genuinely don't care that much. Around college, I discovered this is absolutely not a great trait to have (incidentally, also most applicable when meeting women), so I started a Names file in my phone. I have hundreds of names in…
I do the same but without writing down anything. I just keep it in my head. I always joke with how creepy I feel when I coincidentally meet someone for the second time after months, at a party or something and start to bring up details about that person into the conversation we are having. For now, everyone has been happy and kinda flattered that a pretty much unknown guy is able to remember precise details about their lives but I feel like a psycho.
Still not entirely certain this isn't just a really impressive parody, but for my sanity I am hoping it is. I think this says a lot about the "attention economy" way all the various dating and social apps take up your time to use them, and how we've digitized the process so much that people unironically see the appeal of a CRM system for managing contacts. Classic case of "new tech to solve the problems of all the ot…
This has got to be a parody, right? I really hope it is!
Only problem with this is you either has nothing to fill in, or just when it would start to matter the dates you are forgetting about are not really the ones who worth it.
Can someone chime in why this hasn't worked in the past? It seems a personal/portable CRM could be highly useful. The second aspect is the vertical aspect (professional or "personal") One thing I keep hearing from people that have sold companies, exited etc. is that they are having a hard time operating within their networks without the CRM.
CRMs work at scale by selling to executives who are not the end users but are in control of budget. They then have their sales managers enforce data fidelity amongst the sales team who, to keep their jobs, are incentivized to make sure data in the CRM are up to date, or whatever the closest approximation to that is. So for a personal CRM to work, you'd need to sort out, at minimum, the monetization piece and the data…
Executives also want to take the rolodex with them, hence they have an incentive to keep a personal CRM so that they keep their contacts after they leave.
Superhuman sold to executives for $30/month - which is a relevant (high) price point.
