To sync my Outlook, Nexus One and Gcal I use Plaxo. For some weeks now the Plaxo Gcal sync doesn’t seem to work. Plaxo answerred me they encounter this with more users. They don’t have the solution yet. When you are (as I am) reliant on these service to sync perfectly and actually pay for it it is pretty annoying if they can’t seem to get it to work, tell me to wait and blaim the other party. So much for Premium Support. Anybody encountering the same problems?

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.

Online travel organization startup TripIt will today release some new features that aim to further simplify booking travel online. TripIt now syncs itineraries with any personal calendar that supports iCal, including Google Calendar, Outlook 2007, Plaxo, and others. What this means is that TripIt users no longer need to manually update their calenders with trip information; TripIt now does it all, adding details such as flights, hotels, rental cars, restaurant reservations to supported apps.

Plaxo, Inc. introduced Plaxo 3.0, a major new release of its market-leading “smart address book” service. Plaxo 3.0 is the first online address book and calendar to synchronize between Microsoft, Google, Yahoo!, AOL, Mac OSX, Thunderbird, and mobile phones. The new version makes simple what had until now been impossible: bridging between disparate tools and services with automated, multi-way synchronization — without cables, cradles, or complicated software set-up. Plaxo 3.0, now available for free in seven languages, is currently in beta and accessible to all at http://beta.plaxo.com.

Plaxo is looking for beta testers for their new Plaxo 3.0 version. I sent an email and will update you when invited.  I hope the HipCal acquisition juiced up the calendar.
We’ve been hinting for months now about an all-new and improved version of Plaxo Online (called “Plaxo 3.0″…very creative, huh?). And, we are almost ready to go prime-time, but first we need help testing it on our most daring, helpful, and dedicated users (before unleashing it on everyone else).

Plaxo has remained the same for some years now, the service is simple and effective, it is the de-facto leader in contact management and about a quarter of my contacts use it.
