Anagram...and Orbitz...

I have been flying a lot lately. The ActiveWords odyssey has taken me to all kinds of places. I pitch ActiveWords to anyone that I can, and I traditionally show ActiveWords and a number of other applications. I always show anyone that watches my demo Anagram. Anagram is a killer application. It does a couple of things incredibly well, and as far as I am concerned anyone that uses say Outlook, is nuts not to use it. Anagram allows you to select say an E-Mail signature, and drop it perfectly parsed into a new Outlook contact record. It has been months since I typed contact info into Outlook.

I also buy all my tickets on Orbitz because Orbitz makes ticket buying so vastly easier than most of the airline websites. Each time I get the E-Mail receipt back from Orbitz, I select the text on the ticket info, trigger Anagram by hitting F12, and the next thing I see is all of the information vis a vis the flight perfectly parsed inside Outlook, with dates, time and related information exactly where it should be.

I just got off the phone with Nick Maddix the developer of Anagram and world class good guy. I asked him to tweak it a tiny bit so that I wouldn’t have to cut and paste the airline name and flight number into the subject line.

Anagram solves a couple of those problems that you know you have, and just need someone to turn on your lights!

Nick’s on the case. In the meantime, if you haven’t tried Anagram, do so, it is dynamite!

I agree on the value of Anagram - I tried their 45-day trial and am now hooked. I never realized how much time I spent transcribing contact info, appointments, etc. from email. Never thought about using it for the airline itinerary - thanks for the tip!

Hi, this may be a little strange, but I am an old friend of Nick's and I am trying to find him somewhere on the planet. You mentioned in your blog that you were chatting with him on the phone...can you help me find my old friend?

Thanks!
