Contact-chooser finally on Gmail too

Gmail is considered to be one of the best email services being offered presently. But since the time it was launched in the year 2004, it never brought up the facility of being able to have a pop up window to choose a contact that you want to send an email to.

But now the email services provider has finally added the option of contact chooser for its millions of users all across the world.

Benjamin Grol, Product Manager (Gmail) wrote that in a blog. The post goes as follows:

“When composing messages, you probably rely pretty heavily on auto-complete to add recipients. Auto-complete is convenient and fast, and usually does the trick. But sometimes seeing your list of contacts can help you remember all the people you want to include on your email.

“So, we’ve added a contact chooser to Gmail. Click the “To:” link (or Cc:/Bcc:) when composing a message and you’ll see something like this:

“You can click on the contacts you want to add or search for others.

“If you use contact groups, your groups will appear in a drop-down menu in the contact chooser, so you can select contacts from the groups you’ve already created. And if you happen to use Gmail in Chinese, Japanese or Korean, being able to pick from your list of contacts should be particularly useful since auto-complete doesn’t offer the same search as you type experience that it does in other languages.”
