Plaxo , what's the use ?
I just got an invite to connect to an old collegue on Plaxo Pulse
I`ve been ignoring Plaxo for a while now as the only thing it did for me was keeping an online addressbook.
I already have an online addressbook it's called LinkedIn.
Upon accepting the invite Plaxo proposed me to import my contacts from both Facebook (which I don't even actively use) and LinkedIn . Now this is the first time an app proposed me to import my contacts from LinkedIn.. an API was announced but I haven't found it yet.
I browsed around on the new Plaxo Beta but honestly I can't say I found anything interresting on it so it'ss yet another passive social network account for me.
However it made me wonder if there are already drupal frameworks out there that let you use FaceBook or LinkedIn data. And I promptly ran into the Facebook one still pretty young. I couln't find a LinkedIn one yet however .. altough that one would interrest me more
Any takers ? :)

As far as I understand, the API won't be available for another few months (we asked...). I suspect Plaxo is doing some form of screenscrape. As soon as the API is available, we are planning on doing a module.

at this time. But we will be looking for when someone is.
