As a more general question, I'm trying to figure out the best way to
manage my contacts. I've just purchased an android phone which can sync
with gmail contacts, so that seems to be a natural starting point,
although I don't use gmail much so I'm open to other possibilities.
My main goal is to have synchronized contact lists in Gnus (on a linux
machine) and on my android phone.

Should be feasible:

I guess many Gnus users use BBDB -- http://bbdb.sourceforge.net
Maybe a BBDB-gmail sync tool?

And here's an example of using emacs lisp to interact with a google
search API:

I bet it wouldn't be too hard to do something similar for contacts, so
Gnus could directly expand aliases for gmail contacts. Any takers?
This link is probably helpful too:

Hey, great!

Not me right now, but I'd definitely be interested.

Indeed. Thanks for google.el and the pointer!
