Putting a Face to the Email
I”ve been using Outlook 2010 beta now for a couple weeks. I use this with Exchange at the office as my main repository for contacts and sync it everywhere I go. Outlook does this great job of organizing messages/chats/meetings/conversations by contacts but wastes a good portion of the screen on showing a contact photo next to peoples name when organized this way. Not having a contact photo means you spend the day looking at a ghostly outline on 1/6th of the screen.
Thankfully, Lifehacker came to the rescue and reccomended OutSync. as a way to sync peoples photos between Facebook and Outlook. The download was simple, and it worked like a charm with Outlook 2010 beta on windows 7 64bit.
Now Outlook has become a whole lot more personal. I find that I do give more attention to friends now because of their picture at the bottom of messages, but I”m fine keeping annoying vendor messages face-less, literally.
