Plaxo just released a press release announcing their take over by Comcast, the leading provider of entertainment, information and communications products and services (and Plaxo’s largest customer and partner). Plaxo will remain an independent operation. So, what about current Plaxo members? The services you know and enjoy from Plaxo will not only continue, but will continue to evolve and improve. In addition, both of our services benefit from “network effect,” which is to say that the more people who use them, the more useful they become.

Presdo just launched their new, innovative event scheduling tool. According to the website, Presdo “takes the hassle out of trying to find the best time to get together with people. Use Presdo to minimize the annoying ping pong of email, texting, and voicemail when organizing the next team lunch or trying to grab coffee with a friend. ”

Presdo is entirely web-based and has a simple natural language interface for entering the information needed to create events. It can export events to many calendars, such as Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, Yahoo Calendar, and Apple iCal.

The company was started by one of LinkedIn’s founders.
