Plaxo? Any feedback on it?
 
I was invited to join Plaxo by someone I respect and admire but, after looking over Plaxo site, I decided not to join. Tho' I belong to LinkedIn, I'm very cautious about other social and networking sites. I refused Plaxo because one of their partners is AOL.

The other reason I refused is that I'd prefer to control my address. If others put my addy in their address books, it'd be best if it's someone I trust and am aware of having my addy. I don't need virus problems and so on, thanks.

Now, feel free to berate me, or congratulate me, or whatever but I'd really love to hear your viewpoints on this issue. Thanks!

I agree with your decision Sandi. I don't care for AOL much either and securing personal information is of the upmost importance these days. I'm reluctant to join LinkedIn... is it a good networking tool?

Hi, Layla,

Thanks for your feedback.

As for LinkedIn, I find it to be made up mostly of serious professionals as opposed to teeny boppers like many social networking sites.

You're quite welcome Sandi... Thank you for the heads up on the LinkedIn service. I'm thinking about joining.
