Join Plaxo
Many of you are probably already using Plaxo. For those of you who are not Plaxo members, my simple suggestion today is to join. The basic level is free. If you want, they offer a premium service.
Plaxo helps you to manage your contact information. Once you import all the addresses in your address book to Plaxo, you will immediately see all the people who are already Plaxo members. For these people, you will always have the most up to date contact information, even if they move or change jobs. Whenever other Plaxo members update their profile, your address book is automatically updated. You can access your address book online at Plaxo at any time, anywhere you have Internet access.
For the non-Plaxo members in your address book, you can send out a customized mass email to each of your contacts. In this email, you can list their current work and home address and contact info, and ask them to reply with any changes. Plaxo automatically updates your address book with their replies.
You can also download a Plaxo plug-in to your Outlook. This will then synchronize the contact info in your Outlook with Plaxo.
Finally, if your work or home information change, you can also send out a personalized broadcase email to the people you select with your new contact info.
Overall, I think Plaxo is a great tool for networking and for keeping in touch with people.
