Last week, free online contact manager Keepm.com finally announced mass import from Gmail, AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail and LinkedIn.

Keepm.com had been on our radar for a while because we found it to be one of the few decent free online contact managers and this upgrade gave us a good reason to write about it.

Keepm.com is a simple online contact manager. No tasks, no calendar, no opportunity tracking, no file uploads, no custom fields or built-in mass-mailer application like we saw in other online contact managers we reviewed.

It’s intended as a simple sales tool to put your contacts online and we believe it does that well.

In addition to manual entry, contacts can be entered through mass address book import - we tried Gmail, 300 contacts were imported in a matter of seconds - via vcards or from outlook. Keepm supports export to CSV format as well as v-cards for use on iPods, Blackberry, Treo and other mobile devices. You can also share contacts with other users of the system, a nice touch if you’re using it others in your team.

There’s no stated limit on the number of contacts you can upload - Keepm claims a total of 2,000 users who have uploaded approximately 60,000.

If you’re looking for something to manage thousands of contacts or for other heavy duty professional use, you’ll start missing some “CRM-light” features we identfied above. But if your contact management requirements are modest or just getting started with web based contact management software, Keepm.com is simple and straightforward.

And you really can’t beat the price either.
