Do You Use Plaxo?

Posted by

According to a message I just received, “-214748364% of [my] contacts are using Plaxo.” Plaxo is pretty annoying – but also relatively useful. Annoying, only because I hate installing invasive, bloated software; useful, only because there's no other easy way to keep your contact list up-to-date. Ponzi installed it on her machine and inadvertently sent a note out to all of my contacts (since that Net Folder is currently being shared). I got tired of getting pummeled every other day with Plaxo blasts from friends, so I wound up creating a Plaxo profile on the network – making it infinitely easier to send that information to whoever might request it. I didn't download or install Plaxo, however. There are so many people using it these days, that I find it difficult to enter / share my information through any other proprietary network; it's starting to get rediculous, with the multitude of 'me-too' social networks out there.
