I was searching through the list archives when I came across this old
thread. I thought I would point out some recent developments in the BBDB
world that might be of general interest to Emacs users.

I am the author of a sync tool that can perform bi-directional sync between
MS Outlook / Google Contacts / Emacs BBDB. You can set up a sync profile
between any folder in one of those with any folder in any of the other two.
It's been released to the bbdb-info audience, and it seems to be working
quite well (no complaints yet of ASynK eating up peoples contacts.) Give it
a shot by visiting the project page at: http://karra-asynk.appspot.com/

Further, BBDB v3 is getting ready to come out of alpha status, as per a
recent mail on bbdb-info by the current maintainer Roland Winkler.

All in all, there is some action on the BBDB side of the world, and this is
a great time for the faithful to return to the fold :)

If there was someway to sync (two-way) bbdb with google contacts all problems
would be solved for me, since I can sync my phone with google contacts and
Evolution can read/write from/to google contacts (although nowadays I use
wanderlust in Emacs instead of evolution, which obviously can use bbdb).
