Message Magic Training Video: Skype 3.8 Adding Contacts – Ungrouped vs zAddedToday
This is an update Feb 2012 for this old 2008 post. I was looking through my old Message Magic Trainings about Ungrouped and moving contacts around in categories (called contact groups in Skype 3.8), to see if I have anything useful for my new MM 10 Day Challenge and Message Magic Trainings.
Skype Contact Groups
Message Magic Training
To get the most out of Message Magic do not simply blast out thousands or millions of messages. That would be the flat out wrong approach and you’ll do nothing more than make people mad at you. Aside from that you will create serious issues for yourself, some system performance related. Instead, you should be using Message Magic to add new contacts of similar interests and send messages related to those interests. To do that you need to be using Skype Contact Groups.
Message Magic Contact Management
The reason this is important is because when you run MM and click Load Contacts it will pop up a list of your groups so you can select which group(s) to send a message to. Ungrouped does not show up on the list.
How to Find Contact Groups in Skype 3.8
Needed for Message Magic Contact Management
Bring up your main Skype window, the one that shows you all your contacts. Then click View, Contact Groups, and make sure there is a check mark beside Enable Contact Groups. Also make sure there is a check mark beside View, Contact Groups, Predefined Groups, Ungrouped.
How to Create Skype Contact Groups in Skype 3.8
Now you need to go in to your main Skype window, Contacts, and create group names for the different types of contacts you have. To create a new group click on the plus sign (+) to the right of where it says Groups). Your group names could be things like Friends, Family,Technical, Church, Key Leaders, Networkers, Opportunity Seekers and whatever other title you think is suitable for your list of contacts. If you want a quick and easy approach just create a group called “Previous Contacts”. Then click on the group called Ungrouped. You will see lots of your current contacts show up underneath it. Just drag them all into the Previous Contacts group so that you end up with ZERO in your Ungrouped.
Moving Skype Contacts Between Contact Groups in Skype 3.8
To drag more than one at a time click the first one, scroll to the bottom of the list you want to move, hold the shift key down, left click on the last one and while holding the left mouse button drag them to the new group and drop them there.
Here is a Video about the Old Ungrouped, now we need to do this with ZaddedToday and can do it on mass with Message Magic.
Message Magic Training Video Adding Contacts Skype 3.8
Message Magic sure has changed since 2009. This old video showing the old way of searching with Message Magic and Adding Skype Contacts shows Ungrouped acting like zAddedToday now.
What changed in Message Magic Since This Training Video?
A lot had changed! zAddedToday is where Message Magic now adds new contacts. Now you CAN load and see newly added contacts in zAddedToday vs Ungrouped which you can not see, as explained in the video. We are currently experimenting with how to manage this new zAddedToday, possibly for follow up before emptying it before adding new contacts. Contact Management is now easier with Message Magic.
We now can move people around into and out of Categories using Message Magic. You still can drag one or many Skype contacts all at once with Skype 3.8. Ill be preparing tutorials for that soon.
