Automatic Address Book Updates with Plaxo

By William F. Heinze

Plaxo.com is an online service that offers free, automatic updating of contact information. Users simply upload their address books onto Plaxo's servers. Then, when that information is edited by any user, the changes appear in the Plaxo address books of all of the other users who listed the account changer in their own contacts. You can then access you Plaxo address book from anywhere on the Interet.

Plaxo plug-ins also support automatic contact addition and synchronization with all major local address books, including Outlook/Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, and Mac OS X's Address Book. With these plug-ins, when you add a new contact to your Outlook address book, and that contact is also using the Plaxo service, then your both sets of contact information will be automatically synchronized and updated whenever there is a change. You can also send out invitations to join Plaxo to any of your contacts that are not already members.
