Comcast buys Plaxo - are you thinking “Time to cancel Plaxo”?
May 16, 2008 — Sue Baskerville (SuezanneCB)The social networking site Plaxo has been acquired by Comcast.
My immediate response is to think “I guess I will cancel my Plaxo account.”
I’ve had nothing but bad thoughts since the monopoly internet privileges here changed hands from RoadRunner to Comcast. RoadRunnner did a find job of providing internet service; Comcast immediately started sucking, including lots of downtime, worthless customer service, and charging you for a service call if their technicians aren’t swift enough to confirm the problem is Comcast’s fault.
Lately there’s been Comcast’s deliberate screwing up of people’s internet service if they use P2P program.
Being reminded of Comcast when I see the name Plaxo doesn’t exactly put me in a social mood.
So I’m sad to read that Plaxo was purchased by Comcast.

I join lots of things. Lots of social network things.
Plaxo (Plaxo Pulse, to be more precise) is a sort of social network aggregator, I suppose you might say.
