Joined Google Contacts do not sync I can join two contacts on my Android phone, regardless of where the contact is from (Google Contacts, Qik Video, Skype, etc). But when I join two Google contacts, I expect to see the contacts merged in Google Contacts as well, after synchronization, and this does not happen.

My phone is a Samsung Infuse. Model number: SAMSUNG-SGH-I997. Firmware version: 2.2.1
Google only keeps track of your Google contacts.  The Contacts app on Android allows other apps to provide data to it.  That's how you get your Skype etc. contacts on your phone but Google can't know what they will be and can't sync them.
