Anagram for Outlook

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Dec 30th, 2007 @ 3:30 AM

Anagram is a great tool for automatically converting selected text into Outlook contacts, to-do's, or calendar appointments. Instead of having to manually type in the information in someone's email signature, you can just press F12 and Anagram will create an Outlook contact form, which you can then review, add notes to, correct (if necessary), then hit "Save and Close." What a timesaver! You can instantly create Outlook contacts from any text on your screen - not just email signatures. For example, if you're online and find a company's "contact us" page and want to add that info to your contacts, you could do so using the same process. Anagram can also be used to add appointments to your calendar. This will work even if you the text selected is in natural language, saying something along the lines of "10 tomorrow for half an hour," for example. You can even use Anagram to create an Outlook note of any general text you want. More examples of how you can use the software are available on the Anagram homepage. (Via Brian Desmond's blog)

Very cool. I've been using the LinkedIn toolbar, which adds this feature ... only for Outlook, and only for contacts, but that's where I find I need it most. This does more, of course.
