i just got an iphone & recently created a gmail address. currently, i have comcast with my email account setup through microsoft office outlook with plaxo, but am moving my internet to at&t next week. i just added my gmail address as a new acct in outlook, but will it still work at keep my contacts through plaxo, & my calender synced once i cancel my comcast acct? it doesn’t sound like it. it’s so inconvenient to have an email address attached to a specific provider. please tell me outlook won’t become a useless tool if i stick with gmail?

LinkedIn sucks! Their techies are idiots and cannot program or fix a programming glitch. Their customer service is non-existant! They are inbred idiots and cancel accounts when they cannot and do not want to solve their system issues. I know of at least 9 people this has happened to.

I’ve noticed one issue, that could be just an oversight on my part, but let me ask you about it: when I add an event/new contact on my iPhone, it gets lost after syncing with Itunes, and then never gets picked up by Plaxo, etc, etc. I cannot seem to find a place for settings when syncing, any suggestions?

Although I love Plaxo, I can’t search my contact’s Notes on the plaxo website. So if I need to search for someone on the iphone, I won’t be able to. Plaxo is sooooo close to be my total CRM, but its never quite there.

Yeah, I noticed this magic combination as well and it’s pretty great. Just as exciting, though, is this combination:

Sonic Living + iCal + iPhone

Sonic Living ingests your itunes library and creates a “wishlist” based on all of the artists. If any of them come near your town, it’ll show up on your wishlist calendar. By subscribing to that calendar’s RSS feed in iCal and syncing iCal to your iPhone, you can get a list of pretty much every show you might be interested in right there in your hand. Especially useful in LIST VIEW.

is this via PayPerPost? A bit of a blatant promotion?

That demo looks awesome. What about supporting Symbian as well? (Not everyone uses an iPhone these days )

@Trae R.
iPhone also syncs with Outlook, which is what I used to sync up my contacts with my iPhone. And since Outlook syncs with Plaxo, the article is slightly wrong by saying you need Mac OSX address book. You can also sync your iPhone from Windows Address Book and Yahoo Address book, and I’m sure there are others I’m missing. So if Plaxo can sync with those (I think I recall seeing a yahoo sync?) then those options are viable as well.

But looks like you are out of luck with gmail only.

We (Plaxo) are working on Gmail contacts sync. Next week, we will have one-way sync working (bringing contacts in from Gmail). But to go the other direction, we’re awaiting an API…

I am a Comcast user and they give out the advanced or premium version of Plaxo for free.

I think the title should have been:
“Mac OSX Address Book + Plaxo + LinkedIn + iPhone = Brilliant”

I was excited by the post until I reached this part:
“…as it delivers access to LinkedIn contacts everywhere, including the iPhone (Plaxo imports into the Mac OSX address book, that can then be synced to an iPhone via iTunes).”

I am on a PC, and I use GMail.

I don’t get it. Why would you have 4 different calendars to begin with?

Plaxo’s sync is great but I get too many contacts duplicated. As a matter of fact, as many duplicates as the points of Sync (sync points) – in free version. I think they have this bug built into the free version to prompt the users to buy paid version where the main selling point is de-duplication. Anybody else having the same issue?

facebook will subsume and make irrelevant all these other services.

Pity Suckoya Capital is not part of the Facebook ecosystem. Linkedin sucks bigtime. Even Reed Huffman says so. But he is a big shareholder in facebook, so he will do well.

Jay – correct.

james – are you using the premium feature to access Plaxo via your cell phone? how does that work? I have a Q and Exchange, so sync’ing is a breeze between the devices – and it is one of the main reasons I am not looking at an iPhone (even though I would like too!).
