On the subject I too tried org-contacts and found it novel but not
really a replacement for bbdb. I tried gnus sync with google contacts
too but that was too slow. I suspect the best way to handle this is to
simply use a google to bbdb importer and continue to use bbdb for
contact lookups as its nicely integrated already (well, in gnus it is)
and seems fast enough.
