So Comcast bought Plaxo…  I guess when Microsoft decided not to by Yahoo, Comcast thought that they should make up for it by buying Plaxo.I know that everyone will try and show the synergies but in reality, they will not exist.  The base Plaxo service is easy to copy (the synch’d contact book) and the rest of what they did basically amounts to spam in my book.  Well congrats to Plaxo and my condolences to Comcast.  If you would like to buy PhoneTag (a service that would be very synergistic) I am sure we could work something out.
