Anyone have a good idea of how many people are using Google Contacts?
I've looked at the API before and considered some mashup ideas, but never pursued because I don't know anyone relying on it.
- eigenvector 15y agoPeople with Android phones rely on it quite heavily and likely have many well-curated Google contacts.
- joebadmo 15y agoIt's integrated with Android pretty deeply, so I imagine a lot of Android users are, even if they don't know it.
- aymeric 15y agoMany people use Google Apps / Gmail and synchronize it with their iPhones (email, calendar, contacts, ...)
- kbd 15y agoI do this. I sync'd my iPhone's contacts with my Google Apps account and actually got rid of all the contacts on my iPhone itself. Now all the contacts on my phone are my Google Apps contacts accessed through Google's Exchange. I finally have a unified contact list! Well, maybe not quite unified: my instant messaging contacts -- on non Jabber-based services (AIM, MSN, Yahoo) -- are still separate.
- ark15 15y agoI do this as well. (Just switched from android (N1) to iPhone (4S) just to try out the iPhone experience) My only gripe is that iPhone does not sync all phone numbers. example - Google allows custom phone number types (other than work/mobile/home) that I use a lot and none of these custom phone numbers show up on iPhone. (I wonder if there is a solution to this. Haven't searched for one yet) It was all nicely integrated on android.
- epochwolf 15y agoI use it to sync the contacts on my iphone with my computers.
- ajtaylor 15y agoI rely heavily on it with my Android phone. It's brilliant, and generally Just Works!
- resnamen 15y agoGoogle Contacts can have my firstborn son. As a user, I think it's brilliant.
