Online address book recommendations?

[AllyCat]

Hello

As I am now freelance, and work in different offices all the time, I'm looking to create a private on-line contacts book that I can access wherever I am.

Has anyone any recommendations of websites to use? There seem to be a whole host out there....

Or would I be better to make an excel document that I keep on a memory stick and take everywhere?

Thanks!

do you have a smart phone?

You could just use iOS cloud contacts or google's?

I do have an iPhone... but I'd rather use a website whilst I am at work.... the problem is that many companies I worl for block access to gmail etc so I can't use Google...

Also Plaxo seems to be blocked.....

won't many of those companies also lock usb ports so that wouldn't be a reliable solution either

I understand you would prefer a website but given the restrictions of companies I would defnitely second the smartphone route

hmm, given security restrictions these days I'm guessing most routes could end up blocked.

have you thought about hosting it yourself using something like http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/ and keeping your contacts as an xml or csv file or some format like that?

Despite draconian restrictions here i had no problem downloading a folder I hosted as a zip file!
