I can't find any actual use for this software, can you? It's got potential, but it's NRFPT (not ready for prime time). How do you add a Contact? Gimme a wizard, or something. You can't drag'n'drop from Address Book. Do any contacts I want to add have to post their Spring object on the web? How then can I get my Mom's icon into Spring? I didn't waste my time finding out. no functional use. but it looks kinda perty. use iChat, Camino/Safari, Mail.app, iCal, and NetnewsWire instead.
