Ok

The new fashion for Internet is Social Networking.
www.multiply.com (http://www.multiply.com)
www.orkut.com (http://www.orkut.com)
360.yahoo.com
www.smartgoups.com (http://www.smartgoups.com)
www.linkedin.com (http://www.linkedin.com)

These are a few examples.
In a way who uses plaxo as a network of friends but the advantage people takes from plaxo is to update constacts when they change there information (phone number, adress).
Blogs are to become past.
What's emerging is the social networking.
You have your friends connected to you by your online page (www.multiply.com), where you can share your photos, your videos, your files, your databases, your calendar, post ads for sale, make your blog or send a message to your all group.
I think Plaxo is great but can be even better if it can grow to cover this features.
I hope the developers of Plaxo don't let Plaxo die by tedius.
More and more we are becoming the "Global Village".

Hi Marcoxcosta,

Welcome to the Plaxo Forum, and thanks for the suggestion. I can't say what Plaxo will be doing next, but I can assure you that we're never sitting still!

Thanks again, and have a great weekend.

Very interesting feature if implemented correctly. I remember vising a site that took advantage of the API to import contact information from Orkut, unfortunately I do not remember the address. This would a great feature to add to the import options for address books. I am pretty sure some investigation on this matter will assist in finding the method.
