Hey Guys,

I'm not really sure where to post this, but I have a Moment, so lucky you.
So, after over a year of using GV/Grandcentral, I've finally been able to use Google Voice as my "main" number-- for business and personal. Since getting an android device and a s-load of trial and error, I've finally come to a decent configuration that's pretty manageable. But Google's contact management is still lacking, to say the least.

Yesterday, they came out with a new feature (under the Gmail Blog) that saves a whole bunch of time whilst managing contacts: the ability to search and merge multiple contacts at a time. This is the type of thing that isn't a big deal until you have to do one at a time (times 200.. which sucks). Here's a post I happened upon yesterday. It works and is actually really easy.
