Wow! You are amazing. Why have I not ever thought of this. I want this too! But, I’m not sure where or how. Figure it out for us all, Sean.

You can do this with Grand Central - you can assign different categories that you can create and then even decide which phone numbers of yours they get to ring (you just give them the Grand Central number) and which voicemail message you want them to hear.

It’s a start.

Interesting thoughts. One challenge with this concept is that so much of the benefit of twitter/pownce and other more “open” forms of modern communication is that new contacts are made in spontaneous ways that were previously never possible.
(For instance, I found this post through my twitter-stream).

I think filtering incoming emails (and phone) especially would be helpful simply for bandwidth purposes. But I feel like we are moving towards an era where the traditional forms of “relationships” that would ordinarily fill in the stars in your system are being morphed - making the problem one that will continue to evolve. Perhaps a simple star-system would do the trick on e-mails/voicemails though.
