Abstract
A method, computer-readable medium, and a computing device are provided for associating one or more data objects and other information with one or more contacts. In certain embodiments, an association application operates to access, analyze, and associate one or more data objects and other information with one or more contacts. A user may then examine a contact and utilize data objects and other information associated with the particular contact. Thus, a user can think about information as it relates to a contact, rather than the information type or application that the information relates. The user can now go to one location where information is compiled with respect to a specific contact.
