Espy: lovechild of iPhoto and Address Book

cellphoner · #1 05-28-2008, 07:42 AM

Espy is an Address Book replacement that focusses on pictures rather than names. Basically it capitalizes on the fact that many folks remember faces a lot better than they remember names. The interface blends an iPhoto-like photo browser with Address Book contact info. Espy is compatible with the OS X Address Book and works with Mail.app, etc.

While the basic idea of organizing contacts by photo is not bad, I can't help but observe that the hard part is going to be getting all the pictures. I try to keep photos of my contacts in the Address Book, but except for good friends this is often a challenge. It's a bit of a catch-22 since the people whose names I'm more likely to forget (and so benefit from something like Espy) are also the people I'm less likely to have pictures of.

In any case, Espy is $24.95 and a demo is available.
