Plaxo is more like a outlook ap on the web, and facebook, is well facebook. Does it make sense, being an investor in Plaxo I would love for this to happen. But unless facebook is seriously going after business users I am not sure it makes sense. I understand your privacy issues, it was something that I had trouble getting passed as well. But once I did the ap has proven to be immensely useful for my business life. It's not really a social networking site in the same sense as facebook or others like that. But there is real value for users none the less. Enjoy. Actually the two have very different markets. Plaxo is more like a outlook ap on the web, and facebook, is well facebook.

I think Facebook already has the technology aspect covered. With the buzz surrounding social networking and Facebooks place at the top, I doubt they have any trouble attracting top talent. This deal is not worth doing for Facebook. $200 million for technology and talent? I think Facebook already has the technology aspect covered.

This deal is not worth doing for Facebook.

Facebook may want to just buy the technology, and the talent that Plaxo offers. Comparing traffic is not a valid way to assess whether a company wants to buy another company.

Does this data mining make me look fat?
