Rumor: Google Purchases Plaxo ($200M)

Posted by: chunp in Google, internet, online advertising, web 2.0


The rumor mill is hot with the latest word that Google has purchased the address book turned “social media” hub.

Plaxo has been in the press lately “shopping around” and LinkedIn has repeatedly stated that they are not interested in going public in the “near” term.

I’m a fan of plaxo - as it allows me to sync from device –> corporate email/calendar –> google calendar –> iCal. While it’s buggy, it gets the job done and IMO does it the best out there. I haven’t dabbled too much in the “pulse” features yet, but cmon make the “de-duper” free please! :)

If you know any folks at plaxo - you may want to keep an eye out for them here.
