I prefer the simple paper weekly planner. To me, the idea of 'forgetting' is a non-issue: at any given time, most of your contacts are not in the front of your consciousness anyway - the moment you look them up, whether they be on linked in, a computer app, or paper, the memory returns. I find paper easier to use, often faster (flip a page rather than open an application), and every bit as reliable. Plus, if/when you fill up the planner, taking that one time a year to sit down and copy stuff into the new one is really a mind invigorator - forcing you to remind yourself of and consider every contact you have, when you otherwise wouldn't have.
