I love this technology - it's been the key to the "persistence" of my address book over the years whether because it's a change in operating system or because my computer crashed and lost all my data - it's been a life saver to say the least.

I am not clear if I understand the ramifications of a large entertainment company like Comast acquiring Plaxo just now - here is the "official" PR:

I always thought Pulse was a bit of a fumble to compete against facebook and wished Plaxo focused on their core competency - "networked address books"

it will be interesting to see this one play itself out and if I had to pay for Plaxo, I would - I am not clear why they didn't ask for funds sooner to be honest!

Another great tech startup just gobbled up!
