Plaxo, Inc. keeps people connected by solving the common and frustrating problem of out-of-date contact information. Founded in July 2001, Plaxo provides a free service that securely updates and maintains the information in your address book. Plaxo is the universal digital assistant; available to you wherever and whenever you need it to keep you organized, on top of your life and in touch with those you care about.

Since it’s launch, Plaxo has been updating more and more each month with features that most people refuse to live without, calendars, directions, weather, and some web 2.0 features like Jajah click to call and the Flickr mashup. Contact aggregation being their base service, they certainly haven’t strayed from it whilst adding on tons of other cool features. The interface works to a tee and is well designed.
