I don't blame my friends; I'm just irritated by the crassness of the auto-texts. Dave, I think the neatest-looking feature of Plaxo 3 is the new <a href="http://www.plaxo.com/info/corp/pulse" rel="nofollow">Pulse</a> tool. But I'm not feeling compelled about any of Plaxo right now. Tom, those emails are sent by actual people, sure, but the content is auto-generated.

Of course, it'd be nice if Plaxo didn't let them send bulk emails. Maybe you should ask those people not to spam you in the future.

That's pretty useful. The 'update' spam is damn annoying though.
