Google Sets Contacts Free

There aren’t that many users who don’t use a Gmail account but still have the need to organize their contacts there, but big G is catering to them, too. Google Contacts, the part of Gmail which lets you edit and organize your personal address book, is now a standalone service.

The service is accessible at www.google.com/contacts; in Google Apps you must add it in the control panel by clicking “add more services” and then choosing “Contacts.”

As far as new functionality goes, I don’t see any. Like before, you can export or import contacts from a CSV file by clicking the “Import” option, located at the upper right portion of the Contacts page, print the page, edit contact details and organize contacts into groups.
