Seattle-based, Gist, has already amassed some serious momentum in the tech space, so we’re fortunate to have their Marketing and Product Managers (Jennifer Pitts and Rob McCann, respectively) Skyping in for Conversation Friday. A few accolades and articles include:

• Gist selected as one of twelve FiReStarter businesses for 2010
• Gist Named Featured Tool by Smart Selling Tools
• Gist a finalist for WTIA “Breakthrough Startup of the Year”
• Announcing the winner of our “Join us at Defrag” contest – Liza Sperling
• Gist Founder & CEO T.A. McCann Named Top Innovator & Entrepreneur by Seattle Business

From my brief interaction with Gist, it’s a super-powerful e-mail contact based hub that updates you with news and information by and about the people you know (the contacts in your inbox), but here’s the official take with Gist CEO T.A. McCann.

I actually joined Gist a few weeks ago and was amazed at how much it “saw” into the web — and what it delivered. Quite honestly, I thought it was a little big-brother-ish, so I deleted my account after a couple of uses. After Conversation Friday veteran and fitness blogger, David Csonka, brought up Gist during our session last week, I invited him to present on it.

Friday afternoon, I announced the  topic on twitter, which prompted Gist’s marketing manager, Jennifer Pitts, to chime in. I invited her to be part of the conversation and she agreed to participate along with product manager, Rob McCann.

So, that’s the story.
