Organizing your Google Contacts
If you are in business and you have a Google Account and let's face it, if you are in business and you don't - you must! Then you will need to keep your Google Contacts organized - even more so if you have an Android Phone. So here are a few tips to keeping your Google Contacts nice and organized. 

Hint Dos: Create and Manage Google Contact groups
One of the greatest fears of Google Contacts is the ability to create and manage grouped of people and doing n this filters right through to how you can send bulk emails to individual groups. The trick is to try to create as many groups as you can. The more you refine the netter it will be for your communication and time you will save. 

As an example if you have a small sales team, then create a group called (Company Name) Sales Team. Now when you compose a new email in Gmail, you just type in (Company Name) Sales Team and you can email the whole group at once (up to 200 people at one time)

Hint Dos: Regularly Check your Contacts
Regularly login to your Contacts (once per month at least) at http://google.com/contacts and specifically organize your "Other Contacts" Folder. Every time you respond to an email or chat in Gmail that person is added to your "Other Contacts", but is not official,ky a contact until they rate added to a group!

Hint Tres: Sync Contacts, Calendars with your iPhone
Yes, many people still use iPhone and iPad, and they will want to sync this data. This requires a simple setup with the following URL. It will take you no longer than 5 minutes to set this up! Just have your Google Username and Password handy.
