In earlier days, we used to carry a pocket diary or phone book to maintain our contacts at all times with us. Perhaps, it was most convenient way to recording a contact very quickly. However, things have changed after the evolution of  personal computers. We are adapting to a too dynamic digital world and recording our routine task in electronic formats. Contacts management has significantly improved with advanced search filters available in spreadsheets applications. Cloud based IT services has made it even more simple with easy sharing across multiple devices and user groups. Online addressbook is now a standard feature integrated in most of the email service providers such as Hotmail, google, yahoo etc. In additional to better and efficient contact management, these serives are safe and secure. It is now possible to easy to synchronize contacts on multiple PCs and mobile devices and even possible to recover data incase of theft, loss of device or disk failure. Lets come back to the original topic for this blog about an effective way to 'capture contact details from any websites'.

Is there any way to [Directly save contact details from a webpage to Google Contacts] !! 
While exploring a business directory website, I needed to save some business contacts from landing pages to my google  address book. I started with the simplest way of doing it, with normal copy-paste operation for every parameter filed at a 'New contact' page.  Since these are repetitive steps and time consuming exercise to do it manually for every new contact entry. With a little time and effort, I was able able to find an immensely productive chrome extension 'Evercontact',  that has been specifically created to accomplish this task with additional bonus features.

What is so great about it :
Evercontact  intelligently analyse the contact details given in 'selected text' on a webpage and tags appropriate parameters to automatically create a New contact entry in linked google account. Users can even download  the captured contact information as a *.vcf file on local computer.

One more interesting thing to note,  is to creating a New Google contact directly from any open Tab or Window without even visiting the google account. 

After creating a google contact it even provides a 'direct navigation link to edit contact page' at google website. 

Let us see How to do it :
-  Search with a keyword [Evercontact] at Chrome Web Store.  Install the extension to google chrome. 
-'Sign in with your google account' to which you want to directly save the contact information captures from webpages or email signatures.
