Plaxo is awesome!
Here is the scenario…I put a new contact into my computer this morning. All I had was the person’s first name and email address. I did not know the person’s last name and I thought this could pose a problem in the future, but it wasn’t THAT big of a deal. So, back to the story…I put the first name and email into my address book and didn’t think much of it after that. I also use MobileMe (the old Mac.com) and was looking at the phone to see if the “pushed” data was working. I expected to see the name and email in my phone as I had entered it. This was not the case. What I found was the person’s full name, title, company and email address…all the information I needed. I was briefly amazed, and then quickly surmised what had happened. I also have Plaxo installed on my Mac. What had happened was that I entered the information into my computer. Plaxo immediately synced my address book with my online address book on Plaxo, recognized the email address I had for that person and checked its database for any matches. It noticed that it had a match and then automatically updated my address book on my computer. Being that I have MobileMe contact info pushed directly to my phone, the updated information was also placed on my phone. Amazing!! Plaxo is awesome!
