Talk:Plaxo

message: More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Spam_%28electronic%29#Plaxo.3F that could be worked in, but needs NPOV work.
Mentioning David Coursey in the criticism section isn't really worthy of the article.  Coursey isn't even that relevant of a figure.  If we want a better example, perhaps use Joel Spolsky.
I'm not quite understanding what Coursey's compaint was exactly, "Plaxo received criticism from technology journalist David Coursey, who was upset about receiving a number of requests from Plaxo users to update their contact information..." - He received requests from people wanting HIM to change THEIR information? That doesn't make much sense... Wegsjac 00:13, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

message: There's definitely more to the story about Plaxo criticism than one tech journalist. A lot of people thought of them as practically synonymous with spam, and still may. See "Spam, or Not?", "Now That Plaxo Spam Has Annoyed Enough People, It's Time To Fade It Out?", and "Plaxo: Now With Less Evil" for examples and potential sources.

In my personal case they have ignored a termination of a free of charge trial service twice and charge my credit card.

Comcast is adding a social dimension to its services through the acquisition of Plaxo, a deal the two companies announced Wednesday afternoon.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the purchase price is thought to be in the $150 to $170 range.
The acquisition is a big win for Plaxo, whose Pulse social network service, with 1.5 million active monthly users, has been overshadowed by the likes of Facebook and MySpace. It's a smart move by Comcast, which can enhance the user experience across its 14 million high-speed Internet subscribers, 3 million voice customers, and 24.2 million cable subscribers.
The acquisition is built on a preexisting relationship. In May 2007, Comcast partnered with Plaxo to offer a networked address book to subscribers of its various services. Comcast is Plaxo's largest customer and partner, with Plaxo hosting all Comcast subscriber e-mail address book accounts.

message: Somehow I ended up with this Plaxo program on my computer, and I never installed anything ( I don't have a pre-installed version of Windows, and nobody used the comp except me, this is definitely new, and some sort of malware). Is this company involved in malware? It should be mentioned in the article if so.  Brentt (talk) 03:40, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I received an invitation to join PLAXO (9/2008) from one of my LinkedIn connections. The funny thing is that the person later told me they didn't recall sending out invitations.
In any case - stupid me took the bait; signed on to PLAXO using the same credentials I used for LinkedIn. A fast splash screen appeared, then my new account page. I was curious about that screen - so went back in my browser and captured it. It was a screen with my username and password filled in, along with a reference to LinkedIn.
And guess what? My LinkedIn contacts received invitations to join PLAXO. Yes!! without my approval, permission, or knowledge!!
Needless to say I changed my LinkedIm password since, but the damage is done. 
People - DO NOT LOG ON TO PLAXO with the same credentials to LinkedIn.
Johnny.

thread_title:  A SCAM called PLAXO 

message: I just got an e-mail from Plaxo about a friend request from someone I don't even know, and it turns out Plaxo had created an account for me without my knowledge, using my main e-mail address. Of course I didn't know the password to my account because I didn't create it, so I sent a change password request to my e-mail, changed the password, logged in, and deleted the account. Is there some law about creating accounts for people without their knowledge or consent?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Guidepoint2 (talk • contribs) 20:35, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
