I received a few emails on my recent article suggesting a personal migration to Google asking about contacts and calendars. Unlike other programs, Google treats contacts and calendars as seperate items. This is done so that your contacts can be shared across other platforms. (Gmail, Google Voice, etc.) Google was a little bit late to the party with providing easy ways to synch each of these with the programs that you were more likely to consider your “home” contact management utilities. For the majority of us, that is still Outlook.
Here is a good article on how to keep your Outlook calendar and your contacts synched with Google. Its easy, and once you set it up, your information will always be available to you and the many Google products you get for FREE!
