In this brief voice message, Casey Zieman contacts Laurie to discuss an issue she experienced while importing Facebook contacts into her email account. Casey reports that he was able to import thousands of contacts from Facebook and successfully added 32 new contacts to his own account, indicating that the import process can handle large volumes. He suggests that Laurie’s problem may be related to the email service she used—potentially Gmail versus Yahoo—and advises her to check her Gmail settings. Casey demonstrates his own attempt to import contacts using a different Gmail account, notes that he skipped a notification to avoid affecting his other email accounts, and promises to investigate why Laurie’s account failed. The tone is informal and supportive, with an apology for the late hour and a commitment to follow up.

Hi Laurie, this is Casey Zieman. I'm not sure if I'm recording the voice, but I just really wanted to show you that. At first I thought maybe YouTube or Yahoo wouldn't allow over 600 contacts to be found through Facebook, but I don't think that's true. You can go much more than that and it looked like it worked for me and it added 32 new contacts. So I'm not exactly sure. Maybe because you did set that up through Gmail, maybe that's why it's doing that. You might want to just click through to Gmail and see if that does anything. For instance, I'm doing that right now. Let's see here. I'm going to put in my other Gmail, my Gmail account, Although I don't think that was the right. And let's see if this, what this does, if it goes through or not. I'm going to skip this notification because I use both of these emails so I definitely don't want people to start just using Yahoo. So let me click that. But like I said, I'll have to look into why. Your account wasn't working. Sorry, it's very late here, so I'm yawning, but I'll look into it when I can. And I just wanted to show you just when I did the Facebook upload, as you can see, it was in the thousands, so. Alright, I'll talk to you later. Goodbye.
