Tired of the old Google Contacts? It was pretty frustrating and a bit awkward to even locate. The Gmail team has been rolling out changes for where to find these contacts, making them also more useful in the process. Now the contacts area acts much as the rest of Gmail. You can easily add new contacts, view them, and compose personal notes about that contact.

It is much easier to organize your contacts into groups with these changes. I believe this will be a hint of other Google accounts that may involve groups. It is already connecting with your Google Voice and Google Reader accounts. Will we see the way you organize your groups also transfer to the much hyped Google.me platform?
