I (well, my wife and I) keep getting these email invitations from a family member:
Hi again, I noticed that I didn’t get a response from my last email to you. I’m using a new tool called Plaxo to update my address book. Your information will not be shared with anyone else. You do not need to download any software from Plaxo or register with Plaxo to send me your information. Please take a moment to review the information below from Plaxo and click the button to correct or confirm your contact information with Plaxo. If you want to update your address book too, get Plaxo at…
P.S. I’ve attached my current information in a vcard. If you get Plaxo too, we’ll stay in touch automatically.
The person who keeps sending these is a nice guy, but…
most of the emails from him are the latest jokes from the net (many not so “latest”) and chain e-mails. We would like to stay in touch, to keep up with what he is up to and how he is doing. If he were to start a blog somewhere we would look in on it weekly or get the feed from it. But that’s not really the point of this…
This Plaxo thing. What a naming disaster. Plaxo hmmm. What does that make me think of…
Get Plaxo - the all new mouth wash and tooth whitener that works while you sleep. Plaxo also enhances your breasts and enlarges your penis - ALL at the SAME TIME.
But WAIT!
Plaxo is not responsible for any of the hundreds of side-effects you will experience, including but not limited to baldness, violent spasms, erectile dysfuntion, heart failure and brain damage. In an inconclusive 83% of test cases Plaxo caused severe tooth decay, leading to complete emergency denture replacement.
Plaxo also cures baldness, cold-sores and dysfunctional relationships! Get your Plaxo today!
Of course, Plaxo is not any of that, but if someone were to ask what I think of when I hear the word Plaxo, well there you go. Right up there with Viagra.
No, no, this is an online, contact management application for Outlook. Dont believe me? Google it.
I’m not providing a direct link because I view Plaxo as an evil little spam and spam harvester application.
