Cobook, A Slick Address Book App That Doesnt Upload Your Data

cobook-01The mundane Address Book was big news this week due to the privacy fiasco, but here's a post about an impressive address book app with a different approach to privacy. Cobook is a Mac contact management app that's simple, powerful and actually fun to use. The software, made by a boot-strapped startup, is now in a free beta test, with 60,000 downloads since it launched at the end of January. Cobook is what the Mac OSX Address Book should be. It sits in the menu bar or can be undocked and instantly synchronizes with Apple's Address Book. Any data entered into Cobook gets synced to your other computers and devices. Because its a native app, adding contacts, assigning tags, and editing contact info is very quick. Your Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn contact info can also be pulled in, and if you hover over it, a pop-up window displays your contacts' Facebook info, Tweets, or LinkedIn profile.
