Plaxo and MobileMe: Don’t Do It!

There is a poplular address book / social site called Plaxo which attempts to sync your information on your PC or Mac with your social network. It seems pretty cool as a social network, but I don’t want everyone I know on earth to reside in my address book and phone. I don’t want to filter through all those people I’m not likely to want to talk to on a regular basis. Nothing against them. They’re nice people. But I like getting to information quickly when I’m out in the world.

But the real kicker, and the motivation for this post is that if you use another address book syncing service like MobileMe, you’re likely to end up with whole duplicate calendars as things start syncing with each other. So my advice is to pick one and stick with it.
