However, "SPAM" is not how we plan to make money.<BR/><BR/>If you take a look at our site, you'll see that we've just recently launched a few <A HREF="http://www.plaxo.com/premium" REL="nofollow">premium services</A> that cater to power users that we charge a very low annual fee for. Over the next few months, we will continue to add additional features; some will remain free, others will be premium features.<BR/><BR/>Our costs are extremely low and so we only need to monetize a small portion of our user base in order to become profitable.<BR/><BR/>If you read our <A HREF="http://www.plaxo.com/privacy" REL="nofollow">privacy policy</A>, you'll notice that there is no way we could possibly be in the spam business. The policy is extremely strict and we cannot change it without your express permission.<BR/><BR/>If you have any more questions, please drop me an e-mail!markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09358787907493790068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1113058500717701472005-04-09T07:55:00.000-07:002005-04-09T07:55:00.000-07:00Hey Mark,<BR/>You can resolve the SPAM question in my mind by telling how Plaxo makes its money? <BR/>The problem is… Companies do not exist for free unless there a ministry, and the only marketable product Plaxo has is contact information… and we all know the best market for email addresses.Cliffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15728871159782068036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110990561500498952005-03-16T08:29:00.000-08:002005-03-16T08:29:00.000-08:00Congrats Mark...glad to see you weren't down for long. The Plaxo popularity wave drives me nuts. In 2000, I joined Infotriever.com, founded by 2 friends of mine. They were doing exactly what plaxo has recently started...and a lot more. Plaxo does Outlook. Infotriever does Outlook, Lotus Notes, Act, Palm Desktop. Plaxo does contacts. Infotriever does contacts, events, memos. Infotriever does the same contact subscription to keep you constantly up to date as well with both contacts and events. Book your trip on travelocity and it's saved as an event in your calendar. If your flight gets updated, it is automatically updated in your calendar. Give it a shot, even as research.Bretthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13730218321610060011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110663012831276852005-03-12T13:30:00.000-08:002005-03-12T13:30:00.000-08:00Plaxo - contributing more and more to my email SPAM.D0ctorVaxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13771328844721876809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110434751601006142005-03-09T22:05:00.000-08:002005-03-09T22:05:00.000-08:00Congrats!decheunghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02164049206071977052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110353430478617992005-03-08T23:30:00.000-08:002005-03-08T23:30:00.000-08:00Congratulations man!

I've been reading your posts for a while now. De-lurking just to say Congrats! I know some people using Plaxo's signature feature thus the familiarity with your new company. <br /><br />I'm a product executive too, by the way. Again, congratulations and good luck. Hope you post your website link before you switch and leave Blogger. :)<br /><br />-ChrisMizz Shutterbughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05202353086156578454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110331925395867962005-03-08T17:32:00.000-08:002005-03-08T17:32:00.000-08:00charlie - I urge you to take a look at all those mails that Plaxo sent you. You'll notice that they were actually requests from legitimate people who had your e-mail address. Plaxo itself does not send any unsolicited e-mails. Additionally, we are not in the spamming business. If you read our webpage, we actually have a legitimate service. <br /><br />Plaxo does not have an affiliate service. Users are requesting updated information from you becuase they'd like to keep in touch with you. The only incentive users have is that they get to make sure they have your latest info.markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09358787907493790068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110330255032902092005-03-08T17:04:00.000-08:002005-03-08T17:04:00.000-08:00I assure you that Plaxo is a spamhouse. Spam is unsolicited commercial email, and I got plenty of spam from Plaxo before I started filtering them from my mailserver. None of the spams came from anyone I know, so they were not legit "invitations." Everyone knows that opting out of spam lists is a bad idea, spamhouses just collect these verified active addresses and sell them to other spammers. <br /><br />Giving you the benefit of the doubt, perhaps some rogue Plaxo user decided to spam, which would only be because Plaxo gave the users a financial incentive, paying Plaxo affiliates to get more Plaxo users. That is almost as bad as spamming, it's building spam into the incentives to use the service.charlie don't surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10504494120381565671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110327283652038042005-03-08T16:14:00.000-08:002005-03-08T16:14:00.000-08:00Why did you call it 99zeros anyway?

When you recieve an e-mail about updating your information from Plaxo, that means someone you know has specifically sent you the message to ask you for updated information. Additionally, if you never want to hear from Plaxo again, you can always opt-out at https://www.plaxo.com/opt-out.markjenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09358787907493790068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110313173559337292005-03-08T12:19:00.000-08:002005-03-08T12:19:00.000-08:00Congratulations, you now work for a spamhouse.charlie don't surfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10504494120381565671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110309335074672702005-03-08T11:15:00.000-08:002005-03-08T11:15:00.000-08:00I too wish you luck and congratulations.<br /><br />-DrewDrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07823492357631978527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10225732.post-1110303833452035342005-03-08T09:43:00.000-08:002005-03-08T09:43:00.000-08:00Congratulations!<br /><br />Howcome it seems impossible for companies come up with new accessibility services that don't include toolbar.<br /><br />This company appears to be a good choice. Lot of functionalism for end user. My hat (wearing a baseball cap) goes off to show my appreciation. I can put away my suspicions on you not having common sense (that Google episode), obviously not your fault.<br /><br />Just an idea here, turn it (Plaxo) into a p2p service where contact information is shared among trusted friends (ok, that would bring some level of trust buttons to the picture, could be messy). Also plug in mobility as fast as possible. Sometimes it seems that my mobile phone is the only one, who actually knows my number (and cousin Marv, who lives down there on the farm).
