I tried Soocial on two different XP computers running Outlook 2003 and it flat failed to synchronize a simple cell phone update to a contact. It did, however, manage to create havoc with numerous duplicates for no reason. Avoid. Try Outlooksync instead. I used to use Plaxo unti lt hey started charging.

[...] The sad thing is that he doesn’t want to be funny at all. But, truth to be told, I have to give the man some credit though. In June I wrote about Hasselhoff’s attempt to create an Internet hype by starting his own lip-syncing competition. I wrote it works the other way around. You see, mr. Hasselhoff misses the point here that eighties stars are only cool when other people – not yourself – start a hype. Like Soocial did. This Dutch start-up uses David Hasselhoff as some sort of ridiculous mascot. It worked, ’cause Erick Schonfeld raved about it on TechCrunch. [...]

The title of this article is simply not true and you know it. What exactly is lame about Plaxo and how is Soocial better? (btw: seems like a very nice and useful service.) Plaxo has been syncing address books and calendar with a much larger group of services for a few years now, as well as syncing contact info between members. Your animosity towards Plaxo seems misplaced and probably more about [spoken in Valley girl voice] acting all superior, than continuing to punish them for teaching Facebook and the rest of the SN companies how to grow a user base.

But, I guess you gotta earn a buck and thus rationalize that your petulant writing style, exaggerated titles, and artificially inflammatory stories that hurt the efforts of hard-working people is just part of your job.

Sheesh.

Congrats to Simon and Stefan. I met these guys back in 06 when Stefan did a great demo with an early stage version of Soocial at FOWA in London. Good people.

Wow, they have a great landing page.

Love the hassle free and especially the “YOU CAN DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT!” message. No one ever lets you delete your account.

Great to see another entrant into the “deep end of the data portability pool”! For more context, here’s my post on the topic:

And, Erick, I’d love a chance to meet and discuss the really cool stuff we’re working on.

Is it hard to develop such service? I suppose you just need to build a few things around a SyncML server like Funambol. ScheduleWorld.com had done so.

To add to my above comment “[Hm, I missed the boat on this one unfortunately, but perhaps someone can help - I am willing to swap an invite to Evernote or Skydeck if anyone has a spare Soocial invite. Perhaps one of the naysayers above for whom it wasn’t what they expected would like to transfer their account? Hit me at dkr.smith at yahoo dot com if you are interested. Thanks!]“,

I realized I also have a few others.. joost, mint.com, xoopit and more that I can’t think of – if you have a Soocial invite, and you are in need of some other invite, drop me a line, I may have one!
