This is another one about Plaxo and brothers... enjoy!!!! ZDNet India : Why my address book is spamming you: "All those verification e-mails were sent because I was trying out a bunch of address-correction add-ons for Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express: AccuCard, GoodContacts, and the evil Plaxo. (I found out about a fourth, AddressSender, while researching this column, but didn't have time to assess it; if you have any experience with it, post a TalkBack below.)
Each of these sent out address-verification requests to the people in my contact list--way more often, I might add, than I might have liked. And after all that e-mailing, I'm here to report to you, dear readers (and upset recipients), that I've decided to stick with the service I started out with: GoodContacts. The others either didn't work very well or (in the case of Plaxo) were downright scary. But more on that in a moment. "
