“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.
Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.ff00aa.com to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
