Import Contacts Is Here!

Yes that’s right, Import Contacts is here. It was a while coming but we are there now!

The import function allows you to import your contacts into Wekaworx from another application. The imported file must be a vCard formatted file.

vCard is a file format standard for electronic business cards. vCards are often attached to e-mail messages, but can be exchanged in other ways, such as on the World Wide Web. They can contain name and address information, phone numbers, URLs, logos, photographs, and even audio clips. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Most applications allow you to export your contacts as vCard format. With Microsoft Outlook you will need to download one of the many utilities that allow you to do this. Just google ‘vcard export from outlook’ to find a utility program.

The diagram above illustrates a few of the many applications that export contacts as vCard format.

Have a go!

Having Fun?

Have fun with your work. Ok, so it’s not always possible as it depends on the boss, the work, the deadlines, and your colleagues, but having fun is essential to good software and life in general. Developing software is hard and you need good people. But more importantly you need a good team. If your team sits staring at their screens with headphones on, not talking or laughing you have a problem. Tough software problems only get solved when people talk. Not with documentation, not with process, and not with emails.

The photo above is of a desk next to mine (not mine). He’s having fun!

I’m having a lot of fun with Wekaworx at the moment. The feedback has been great and helpful. Watch out for some new features coming soon including Contact Import.

Cheers
