Comments on: Google Contacts Get More Useful http://webworkerdaily.com/2008/07/16/google-contacts-get-more-useful/ Rebooting the workforce Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:33:51 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: physio http://webworkerdaily.com/2008/07/16/google-contacts-get-more-useful/#comment-299450 physio Fri, 18 Jul 2008 04:54:53 +0000 http://webworkerdaily.wordpress.com/?p=2794#comment-299450 Maybe it's just me but I could sure use a better explanation of how this works. The only setting is whether or not to "Automatically move suggested contacts into My Contacts if I frequently email them." So, I have over 1000 suggested contacts and over 500 in 'My Contacts.' Are these two lists exclusive? Do I supposedly have over 500 email addresses that I email frequently? What qualifies as 'frequently'? Another thing that annoys me is that I have many, many duplicate entries. There is no easy way to combine these entries. It's very time consuming to copy and paste each field from one entry to the other and then delete one. Especially with the duplicate email restriction. Does any hard core Gmailer have some good advice? Maybe it’s just me but I could sure use a better explanation of how this works.

It's also useful if you're the type that likes to keep your address book organized. I just switched my mother over to Gmail from Outlook and she's constantly complaining about the address book and how no matter how much she tries to keep it organized, it becomes a mess a couple of days later. This will help her a lot. Marcin, it’s really useful if you sync your contacts anywhere else. It’s also useful if you’re the type that likes to keep your address book organized.

Actually, it doesn't change anything in Contacts becoming any use to 99% of users (myself included). It may change things on the back-end, but for me? Mike, this is not a big improvement.
