My name is Cédric Bozzi, I make apps and websites, and this is my tech blog — you’ll find news commentary here, from a very opinionated Mac-head.

Il y a une version française ici, but most of this blog’s contents are extracted from my Twitter feed, and hence only available in one language (which varies randomly).

“Gmail and Facebook Users: Time to Resign Yourself to Extra Contacts [on Your Pre]”

[Gmail] is aggressive at adding contact emails to you list. Even if you cull it regularly, it becomes messy.

It gets a bit more complicated with the Pre, as we’re discovering in our forums. Turns out that the webOS syncs All Contacts instead of "My Contacts," meaning all those extra "suggested contacts" are included in your sync. Sure, you can delete them, but it’s still messy.

Add in the fact that you can’t delete Facebook contacts or choose which ones you want to sync to the Pre.

That’s why I hate automatic contact sync. It’s convenient in theory, but always lacks some control.
