Do I really have to add everyone manually to my emails?

So if you had an easy way to send off your favorite LOLcat to everyone in the office, would you?  Not that I am suggesting to send junk mail to your co-workers.  They will quickly set up a filter that routs everything you send them right to the trash.

In Gmail, groups are used when you want to send email to multiple people on a regular basis.  When you first sign into your account, on the left side of the screen click Gmail and go to the contacts view.  When your contacts load, you will notice a check box to the left of their names.

Check as many of the contacts as you wish, when you do this your options bar, under the search field, will change.  You will notice an icon with three people on it has appeared.  This is the groups icon.

When you click that icon you can create a group.  Now when you compose your next email you can send to that group like you would any other contact.  Just start typing the name of the group and select it when it pops up.  All of the email addresses in that group will auto populate the "to" field.

Now you can pester your office with ease!  Tomorrow, I'll discuss how to filter annoying emails to the trash...
