<p>Google significantly increased my quality of life recently. How?
Let me explain. While I am a firm believer that cloud computing
should <em>never</em> be viewed as a replacement for the current desktop/
model, I must say that I am now a <strong>huge</strong> fan of storing my data
on the internet. Not all of my data, keep in mind, but information
that needs to be accessed by multiple computers, of course but
that goes without saying.</p>
<p>I have always had the problem of not being able to keep track of
all my data. I switch computers and operating systems so often, I
can't keep track of my contacts at all. And when I update one, I
have to go through and update many different databases not the
most efficient method.</p>
<p>So, the ultimate solution is obviously to consolidate all of my
contacts into one database. I used to keep all of my contacts on my
Samsung Blackjack cellphone. This worked well, since I could easily
sync it with a computer. This caused a problem, however: I could
only sync it with one system. If I was at work or on another
system, I had no way to get to my friend's email addresses.</p>
<p>Last month, Google Contacts started to support Exchange Syncing,
which happens to work <em>flawlessly</em> with my Windows Mobile 6.1
install.</p>
<p>My life will never be the same. Thank you, Google. I am eternally
grateful.</p>
<p>More details soon!</p>
