John, If I knew then (when I first tried Plaxo) what I know now (when I discovered some bothersome issues and have since uninstalled) I would never have installed Plaxo.
The 2 things that leap to mind: 1) Plaxo installs a stub program on your computer which constantly runs in the background. It used an excessive amount of system resources and it seemed like poor programming practices to even have the stub program running in the first place. 2) When you sign up for Plaxo they make a copy of all of your Outlook contacts in a web-based account that they setup for you. This is supposed to be a convenience I guess. The thing is once my trial ended and even though I no longer wanted to have my contacts on a web-based account with them I cannot get them to remove that account. Every month or so I come back and try my logon to their web account for me and it's still functioning and they won't delete it even after repeated requests to cancel my trial membership. I won't say their Evil but they are at least Chaotic Neutral.
