Re: [WISPA] OT, online contact groups
Plaxo is an online contact management system. They have not been known to spam thus far. It is a paid service. LinkedIn.com and openBC and a few others are networking sites. It works great if you are looking for contacts. Because it is a small world and 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon works with lots of people - like Jon Price :) Peter RAD-INFO, Inc. Marlon K.
