Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT Plaxo.com
John, If I knew then (when I first tried Plaxo) what I know now (when I discovered some bothersome issues and have since uninstalled) I would never have installed Plaxo. The 2 things that leap to mind: 1) Plaxo installs a stub program on your computer which constantly runs in the background. It used an excessive amount of system resources and it seemed like poor programming practices to even have the stub program running in the first place. 2) When you sign up for Plaxo they make a copy of all of your Outlook contacts in a web-based account that they setup for you. This is supposed to be a convenience I guess. The thing is once my trial ended and even though I no longer wanted to have my contacts on a web-based account with them I cannot get them to remove that account. Every month or so I come back and try my logon to their web account for me and it's still functioning and they won't delete it even after repeated requests to cancel my trial membership. I won't say their Evil but they are at least Chaotic Neutral.

A client is asking about it. We ban them at work. Seems to us like a scam to get people to give them tons of contact information, and their TOS says they won't share the info but if they are bought by another company then of course the TOS goes out the window. Which is more reasonable? They are out to be a good company and help the Internet or that they are harvesting data to make themselves attractive to buy in order to obtain that data? -- Joshua Levitsky, MCSE, CISSP System Engineer http://www.foist.org/ [5957 F27C 9C71 E9A7 274A 0447 C9B9 75A4 9B41 D4D1] --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT Plaxo.com
What concerns me is how they intend to make money. Consider the fact that they aren't making it directly from their software, hopefully there's a plan there that first requires acceptance and mass, though whether or not that would go over will with those here is a different story. I wouldn't use it for the very fact that their money making plan isn't yet known and that will likely impact all of their users at some point, for better or worse, if they survive. Why commit to leaving your address book in someone else's hands when they don't even charge you? If they charged, I would feel differently, because that would show a legitimate way to make money, and a desire not to piss off paying customers. I'm not at all concerned though about them selling anyone's address, though some 'Partner Spam' delivered by them would be expected.
