1/31/2024 0 Comments Busycontacts duplicatesI say “may” because Bus圜ontacts will pull someone‘s Twitter feed without requiring that you have your Twitter account set up, but it cannot pull Facebook information, even if you have your contact’s Facebook account information, without your having set an account up. This makes sense, because for most Facebook feeds you can’t see information unless you’re logged in.Īdding social media has the effect of importing all contacts from each of your sources into Bus圜ontacts. The upside of this option is that you can see all your contacts and their related social media feeds in one place. If you have the same contacts in each source the application lets you link them within Bus圜ontacts, but in order to avoid displaying duplicate contacts you also need “combine” the linked cards to change the way you see them. ![]() This merge doesn’t actually combine the contacts into a single record, it just changes the way contact information is displayed. This isn’t difficult to do, but can be a mite confusing if you don’t take the time to go through the documentation. Oddly, even though I have a Twitter account set up on my Mac and I follow most of my contacts, Bus圜ontacts’ built-in Twitter feed always displayed a “Follow” button, even for contacts I already followed. Until you figure out how to combine linked cards, Bus圜ontacts displays all your contacts from every address book you link to. The workflowĪs soon as you step through the initial setup process, Bus圜ontacts’ usefulness is evident. Select a contact and you’ll see your most recent email conversations right alongside your selected contact. Double-click a mail message and the Mail app will open that message. If you have Bus圜al installed a list of future and recent events will appear above the list of related email messages. Scroll down past the mail list and you’ll see items the contact has posted on social media. While I love the way Bus圜ontacts links related information for selected contacts, I did find the way you create events, create notes, or otherwise initiate contact to be a bit uneven. The application offers several ways to initiate these events, but those options aren’t always where you expect to find them. For example, Bus圜ontacts lets you use an Action menu and a contextual menu to perform contact-related tasks. But you can’t use a contextual menu when clicking on a contact to start a FaceTime call. Instead you have to use the action menu or control-click the contact’s phone number to initiate a call. ![]() Likewise, you can’t use the Action menu to add a tag to a contact. In short, it seems that the Action menu could have been eliminated altogether and the same tasks could have been performed using a contextual menu. The separation of tasks between these menus seems unnecessary. Bottom lineĪs a first iteration contact management app, Bus圜ontacts has much to offer. ![]() Easy set up and centralization of every tidbit of your contact information, including email, and social media feeds, makes it easy to keep an eye on everything your contacts are up to. But, while Bus圜al integration is a huge benefit, it’s also a limitation if you’re happy with your current calendar app. In addition, some minor interface quirks, while not deal killers, make Bus圜ontacts unnecessarily inconsistent.
