I'm genuinely interested: is there anything I don't spot or which is not yet rolled out to my account about Google Contacts? If I remember correctly it is a standalone site for quite some time now. http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/09/google-contacts.htm...
How the heck did my dog's name wind up in my contact list? Apparently this was from tagging pictures in Picasa and now if I try to delete anything from Google Contacts it warns me that they'll also be deleted from Picasa etc. Geez, maybe I want my dog tagged in Picasa but I don't necessarily need to keep her in my contact list. I can't remember the last time I phoned her or sent her an email.
Who is Beta?
But, seriously, isn't this just an export of the functionality (and interface, even!) that's been in GMail for ages?
Dear Google,
Enable sorting by last name or else this is a complete failure.
