Managing List of People

Hey GTD Community.

I'm following GTD for years, and one thing I couldn't nail down yet: managing list of people.

I meet a lot of random people daily, and I would like to have the information I get more organized. For example, yesterday I met some people in a party, many are friends of friends, and for most I have only their name. I would like to remember their relationship to my friends, their names, and some notes I write down about them.

I would like to find a tool that would allow me to list those people, creating a network of people based on locations, interests, and more importantly their connection with other people.

I am aware that this request is vague, so you could share how you guys file the name of the part-time worker of your local coffee shop, that you may see once a month or a year, but still would like to remember their name and some details.

Thanks! :D
 
This is reference material as far as I am concerned. The best way I've found to do this and have access to it anywhere is through Evernote. I sometimes take pictures of the type of people you are talking about and add tags, notes, etc. Or if they give me a business card a put a photo of that in Evernote. Or I might just record a voice note and tag that. In any event, i have what I need and it is searchable from any device I use even years from now.

Candid, you're a legend!

Evernote Hello looks fantabulistic! Thanks ever so much. I am going to have to get it for sure! This is really how my brain works.
 
Another tool worthwhile checking out for this is Highrise by 37signals. It's like a contact manager with a lot of features.

The Hello app for Evernote does seem interesting. I might have to try it out too.
 
Thanks for the responses. I tried the suggestions here (apart from Highrise, just looking into it now), and didn't really find a good, intuitive one.

The Evernot Hello is not useful. The idea is great, but at least at my iPhone it works poorly in terms of functionality.

Could you recommend on a simple contact-manager that allows to attach tags into the contacts? Maybe for now that's what I need, especially if it has iPhone app integration/sync ability.

I double that suggestion. It is very good looking and intuitive web application, and it is designed exactly for managing list of people, keeping notes about them, etc..
