Create Contact Groups in Gmail

Here's a great tip for Gmail users: You can quickly and easily send mail to a batch of recipients (clients, team members, etc.) using contact groups. The Official Gmail Blog explains how, but here's the process in a nutshell:

  1. Fire up Gmail, then click the Contacts link.
  2. Click the New Group icon, then provide a name.
  3. Browse or search for contacts you want to add to the group. When you find one, select it, click the Groups button, and choose the newly created group. You can select multiple contacts at a time and add them simultaneously.
  4. When the time comes to compose a message to this list of users, just type the name of the group in the To: field; Gmail will even auto-fill it for you.
How handy is that! Just one more reason to leverage Gmail for your business e-mail needs. (Whoa, I'm starting to sound like a company shill. Okay, one more reason to consider Gmail for your business e-mail needs.)
