I'm surprised I haven't found a solution for this already: I've been manually copying out contacts from GMail contacts in Highrise for a while now, (even though VCard importing helps slightly) I still find it frustrating. I've searched around a few times but can't find anything that will sync highrise (or competing product I can use for managing call lists, which I would gladly switch to) with GMail contacts. Doesn't anyone know of one?

Sharepad at <a href="http://GoSharepad.com" rel="nofollow">http://GoSharepad.com</a>.<p>We're still making some last minute changes & fixes but it should be up in a few weeks. Each Sharepad account connects to one Gmail address. Once signed up it will continuously do a real time 2-way sync between your Gmail account and Sharepad account. It will sync emails, contacts, & tasks. You can kind of think of it as email centered around your contacts as opposed to a big dumblist like you have with regular email clients. It allows you to take notes & place follow-up tasks on contacts as well.<p>Finally, you can share your pad with anyone simply by dragging & dropping any one of your contacts to the "Padmates" group. They can then login and manage the account with you - send emails under their own name - add & edit notes/tasks under your contacts etc.. Perfect for lead collaboration or customer management in that sense. Also good for managing projects together.<p>Again, we're still in the process of getting help videos up and the blog/FAQ etc but you can signup for a free account to check it out now if you like.<p></plug>
