gwabbit usage examples:

It was a dark and stormy night, business was slow, like a bad dial-up connection to CompuServe in 1997, but then an email came in and up popped a gwabbit alert. I gwabbed the contact. A week later I needed that phone number, made the call, made the sale and made my year. If I hadn't gwabbed it, I'd just be another lazy bum on the streets with an empty contacts file.

When I first got into gwabbing, I said hey, it's free, I'd just try it once, a trial, I thought, just a few contacts. I liked it. Really liked it. After a while I needed more and more contacts and paid money for gwabbit. It felt good. It was good. I had a gwabbit habit, a gwabbit on my back and no regrets. People liked me better when I could get back to them faster, like I was better looking and someone they wanted to do business with. Little did they know my gwabbit secret.gwabbit descriptionsSome see gwabbit as an imaginary rabbit, others see hours of time saved, year after year, and business deals made because gwabbit made it more likely for you to save contacts. gwabbit has been called:

  • "a businessman's best friend"
  • "comforting like a tribble, but with ears, eyes, whiskers, and a mouth, and it doesn't purr
  • "the feel-good Microsoft Outlook Add-In of the year- if you add in just one add-in, add in this one."
  • gwabbit tastes like chicken, only binary.
