Google Realizes Auto Adding Contacts is a Bad Idea for Gmail

This is great news for all Gmail junkies. I personally dislike that (un)feature. Here’s what Google posted on their blog:

“Google has finally realized that it’s a bad idea to automatically add to the list of Gmail contacts all the people you’ve sent an email. An updated version of Gmail’s contact manager has a separate section for the people you’ve emailed: “suggested contacts”.”

I love this move. Now, I have to give some time cleaning up my Gmail’s contacts because it’s currently marred with emails I don’t personally know.

Love it Gmail team!
