Just received an email request to add someone I know on Plaxo. Never heard of this social networking site before. What about you guys? Have you ever heard of Plaxo? If so, what is so special about them?
All people I used to work with in the media used Plaxo a few years back to synch all their contacts and stuff. I know there's been a bit of discontent with it in recent times, but I didn't realise they were spamming as well. I never used it myself.
"When you sign up for Plaxo, they make it misleadingly easy to spam your entire address book with your contact information and a Plaxo advertisement. And any updates they do are likely to be sent to their entire address book as well. As millions of people unwittingly do this, we, the non Plaxo users, are hit with a massive aggregate cost: dealing with all of this spam."
Thanks for the info guys.
Sounds fantastically annoying! I'm thankful I didn't get suckered into signing up. Can barely handle the spam I get now.
