Hey there - I'm Zvi, CEO of Contactually. Honestly, if cost is a major factor for you, you can build a spreadsheet tool that can work really well. However, it takes the same discipline that Contactually or any other tool would require - just a bit more time.
If you really love self-hosted, SugarCRM is the main open source CRM out there.

@Graham fair point (BTW I'm the CEO of Contactually). We've made it as simple as possible for now (and our users regularly say that), but we are constantly working to streamline the UI. Any feedback, I'm very easy to reach.

@quanticle - There's a balance to be had there. Yes, being continually emailed by a service you had no interest in is a terrible idea. But we've found that people drop off for other reasons - technical issues, walked away and forgot, or had unanswered questions. An easily-ignorable one-time e-mail is harmless

Thanks! Yes, a lot of these are "duh" moments - we just wanted to note how big of a difference it makes.

Definitely - when it comes to social communication, there's Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. And that's bleeding across into professional communications as well, with companies regularly monitoring social networks and engaging with customers on there. But e-mail still remains, for professional communication, the dominant platform.
