Plaxo is for sale, I shoulda known better!

When i first heard about Plaxo and the whole "Global Address book" hoo ha, I didn’t sign up. When a few friends and colleagues signed up and invited me, I passed. Why? I was waiting to see where they’d go. Finally just a few days ago, I got another invite. "Ok, it’s been a year [...]
