“45 people are waiting for your response”
That is the subject of the email I received from Plaxo this morning. When I originally signed up for Plaxo I had no intention of it being anything other then a contact book manager. Obviously times have changed and Plaxo, in order to jump on the Social Network Buzz Bus, made it something more.
What is pisses me off about this kind of stuff is that every time a company tries to make its product “social” it seems to create work for me. There are ways to get around this like leveraging Facebook connect for example but still that usually requires a bit of work.
That is why I like, no love, Tumblr (the platform this blog is on). It is social without the overhead and to me that is the winning mix.
