Windows 8 People应用程序是一种工具,用于聚合来自(People)Internet的所有联系人。您也可以从电子邮件帐户、 Facebook(Facebook)、LinkedIn、Twitter和其他社交网络帐户中提取联系信息。必须单独添加每个联系人很可能是一项艰巨的任务,但People会为您解决这个问题。您所要做的就是将您的各种帐户与应用程序同步,然后等待几分钟,让您的所有朋友、家人和同事(family and coworkers)都出现在屏幕上。这再简单不过了。
如何将您的第一个帐户(First Account)添加到人员应用程序(People App)
乍一看,人(People)脉应用并没有太多用途,它只是一个等待你的朋友、家人和同事(family and coworkers)填满的空白屏幕。
要开始填充应用程序,请从首页的快捷方式列表中选择一个帐户。我们从Facebook开始。
虽然每个帐户都会有所不同,但每个程序的基本内容都是相同的。您将看到一个描述连接帐户含义的屏幕。继续并单击或点击“连接”("Connect")继续。
接下来,您必须提供您的帐户信息(account information)。
然后,人(People)脉应用程序将祝贺您出色地完成工作,并邀请您连接更多帐户。
现在,这里需要考虑一件事:您将无法将多个相同类型的帐户添加到“人(People)脉”应用程序。例如,如果您使用两个或多个 Twitter 帐户,则只允许您将其中的一个添加到此应用程序。对于你们中的一些人来说,这可能是一个问题。我知道那是给我们的。🙁
如何将其他(Add Additional) 帐户(Accounts)添加到人员应用程序(People App)
由于人们(People)使用方便的链接来填充其空白页面,您的第一个帐户很容易设置。添加(Adding)其他帐户需要更多的工作。
首先(Start)打开Charms并选择“设置”。("Settings.")接下来,单击或点击“帐户”。("Accounts.")
“帐户(Accounts)”菜单列出了您已连接到“人(People)脉”应用程序的每个帐户。您可以单击或点击帐户名称(account name)以查看其设置(Settings)并获取在线管理帐户(account online)的链接。不过现在,请继续单击或点击列表底部的“添加帐户”("Add an account")。
现在,您将看到People支持的帐户列表。选择您要设置的一项。我们选择了谷歌(Google)。
同样,您必须按照指示输入您的帐户信息,然后单击(account information)“连接”。("Connect.")
继续添加所有适用的帐户。这将需要几分钟,但在初始同步完成后,您的人(People)脉应用主页将如下所示:
如果您在一个会话中添加多个帐户,请耐心等待。The People会花时间添加您的所有联系人,尤其是在您有成百上千个联系人的情况下。
结论
现在,您的People应用程序中充斥着联系人,您可以开始使用它了。您将能够从该组中拉出来处理Mail中的电子邮件、邀请人们参加Calendar中的事件以及在(Calendar)Messaging中发起聊天。此外,People会将您的联系人同步到您的所有 Windows 8 设备,包括多台计算机、手机和平板电脑。设置一次,无论您走到哪里,所有熟人都触手可及。

Introducing Windows 8: How to Add & Sync Accounts to the People App
The Windows 8 People app is a tool for aggregating all of your contacts from all around the Internet. You can pull contact information from email accounts, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and other social networking accounts as well. Having to add each contact individually would most likely be a monumental task, but People takes care of that for you. All you have to do is sync your various accounts with the app and wait a few minutes for all of your friends, family and coworkers to show up on screen. It couldn't be easier.
How to Add your First Account to the People App
At first glance the People app doesn't have much going for it, it's just an empty screen waiting to be filled with your friends, family and coworkers.
To start populating the app, select an account from the list of shortcuts on the front page. We started with Facebook.
While each account will vary a bit, the bones of each procedure will be the same. You'll see a screen describing what it means to connect an account. Go ahead and click or tap "Connect" to move on.
Next, you'll have to provide your account information.
Then the People app will congratulate you on a job well done and invite you to connect more accounts.
Now, there is one thing to consider here: you won't be able to add multiple accounts of the same type to the People app. For example, if you are using two or more Twitter accounts, you are allowed to add only of them to this app. For some of you this might be an issue. I know that it was for us. 🙁
How to Add Additional Accounts to the People App
Your first account is easy to set up thanks to the handy links People uses to fill its blank page. Adding additional accounts takes a bit more work.
Start by opening the Charms and selecting "Settings." Next, click or tap "Accounts."
The Accounts menu lists each of the accounts you have connected to the People app. You can click or tap on an account name to view its Settings and get a link to manage the account online. For now though, go ahead and click or tap "Add an account" from the bottom of the list.
Now you'll see a list of accounts that People supports. Select one you want to set up. We picked Google.
Again, you'll have to enter your account information as directed and click "Connect."
Continue on to add all of your applicable accounts. It will take a few minutes, but once the initial sync is finished, your People app homepage will look something like this:
If you add multiple accounts in one session, be patient. The People takes its time to add all of your contacts, especially if you have hundreds or thousands of them.
Conclusion
Now that you're People app is flooded with contacts, you can start making use of it. You'll be able to pull from this group to address emails in Mail, to invite people to events in Calendar and to initiate a chat in Messaging. What's more, People will sync your contacts to all of your Windows 8 devices including multiple computers, phones and tablets. Set it up once, and you'll have all your acquaintances at your fingertips, no matter where you go.
