Ideas coming in the Winter ‘09 Release

Auto vCard Usage thru July 08
Auto vCard usage continues to grow. The script received a high of 7425 hits in May 2008 only to drop off in June and July. If history is an indication, it should pick up again this month.
The stats through July 2008 are below:
Auto vCard consists of 2 custom buttons (one each for Leads and Contacts) that allow you to create a vCard file for a specific record. In other words, you click a button in Salesforce to save that contact/lead to Outlook or another PIM.
- Get Auto vCard from the AppExchange. It’s free.
- View the Auto vCard product page on arrowpointe.com
- Read the Auto vCard privacy policy to learn about how your information is handled in this application.
Akismet PHP5 class updated
The Akismet PHP5 class I use for the Akismet Web-to-Lead Spam Check was updated. The old version oftentimes hung as it established a session with Akismet. No longer. The new version is like butter.
I updated the Arrowpointe Google Code site and the latest version is in the download there.
Proximity Searching in Salesforce.com (demo)
The recent release of Arrowpointe Maps introduced functionality to perform proximity searching within Salesforce.com. We call it “Search Nearby”. With the click of a button from a record in Salesforce, you can search for Leads, Accounts and/or Contacts that are within a user-specified proximity.
Click the image below is see a demo of the functionality in action.
