Importing your contacts into Gmail

I didn't intend to blog this weekend, but given how critical I have been of Gmail, I thought I should recognize when they do something well. Google has provided the ability to import your contacts into Gmail! The good news is that the import function uses a CSV file format and it is easy to use. It took me about 2 minutes to load all my outlook contacts. The only bad news is that while Yahoo! will allow you to export your contacts in a format you can import to Gmail, AOL and Hotmail don't have the ability to export address books, so as of now you are out of luck.
