Gmail Updates Contacts Feature

August 10, 2010

MG Siegler:

Gmail is a great product; easily one of my favorites on the web. But it has an Achilles heel — well, actually it’s more like a bum leg: Contacts. Despite a solid contact area being a vital part of pretty much every email and productivity service, Gmail’s is awful. Or, it was awful. Today it’s getting a lot better.

This is great news. Gmail’s Contacts feature wasn’t totally unusable, but it certainly had lots of room for improvement. Oh, and Apps users, someday you’ll get it, too, don’t worry.
