downloadsquad.com — Plaxo's ability to automatically update your address book whenever a fellow Plaxo user changes their information was a pretty unique feature that really let the company's vision shine. After playing with this new beta, however, we feel comfortable saying that Plaxo 3.0 could very well be nothing short of revolutionary to world of data management.

Gmails contact books as way to many limitations for it to be productive for the hardcore users.

Huh? Not sure where the Google porn thing is coming from, but it would be incredibly easy for Plaxo to sell data on the DL and get away with it. Do you know how I know? Because the thousands of spam in my mailbox every day tell me that lots of lots of companies are in the business of selling my personal information, despite "privacy policies" Some people are way too trusting, I tell you.

The difference is that I trust gmail/hotmail/yahoo. They have profitable business models based on advertising. Someone is arguing that Plaxo is making money from premium services, but I just can't see very many people sending their "e-Cards" when there are dozens of bigger players in that market, or paying $50/year for the Premium service which pretty much only offers duplicate contact removal (woo-hoo, big deal) and more than 1,000 contacts. If they're not making money in a way that I can clearly see, then I'm suspicious of them, that's the bottom line.

Sorry, Roland, but that is just not the case. In the past Plaxo made it a little to easy for inexperienced users to accidently message their whole address book, but they removed this function over a year ago and I think everyone would agree that the volume of update requests has dropped significantly.
