shared contacts launched!

We just launched our shared contacts application on Google App Engine (Java)!
This small but powerful application lets you share Google contacts with other Google users.
This is extremely helpful if you are using Google Apps to run your business and you want to share contacts with all your employees.
Up to now you had to upgrade to Google Apps Premier Edition to get sort of shared contacts. But these shared contacts had to be added by using the shared contacts API. And there is still no way to edit these shared contacts in the Google contact manager.
Our application takes a totally different approach: Once you create an address book you'll get two new groups in your contact manager. One group containing the shared contacts and the other group lets you mark existing contacts to be shared with other subscribers of the address book.
More information can be found here.
You can try out our free version with your Google account right now and you can contact us if you'd like do get the full version or a limited version hosted in your own Google apps domain.
