Comments on: Plaxo = Buyer’s Remorse http://benrobb.com/2007/12/04/plaxo-buyers-remorse/ thoughts that don't fit in Mon, 02 Aug 2010 02:51:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: benrobb http://benrobb.com/2007/12/04/plaxo-buyers-remorse/comment-page-1/#comment-3485 benrobb Tue, 04 Dec 2007 20:11:51 +0000 http://benrobb.com/2007/12/04/plaxo-buyers-remorse/#comment-3485 So even though I was upset about wasting some money, I figured it would still be stupid to pass on Plaxo just because I had already spent money, so I downloaded it and gave it a spin. Turns out, my money wasn't a complete waste. Plaxo does sync with Outlook and GCal, but you don't have a lot of flexibility over how that happens. Plaxo will only sync to GCal's default calendar which doesn't exactly meet my needs (that's what I tell myself to feel better anyway). Plaxo also appears to only support 2-way syncing which definitely doesn't meet my needs. Plaxo still does a lot of neat things though. With an understanding of those limitations, Plaxo might be just what you need.
