Now this is transparency

March 28, 2006 by Neville Hobson 

Last week, I wrote about Plaxo. You know, the impersonal emails you get from people asking you to update your contact info. I really don't think much of the service at all. I consider it to be equal to spam. But what I think about Plaxo the company just went up a significant number of notches. Plaxo's CEO Ben Golub posted a public apology on Friday on the Plaxo blog: [...] To everyone who hated getting Plaxo update messages, felt we were generating acquaintance spam, or otherwise were harmed … [Read more...] about Now this is transparency

And, he says, it should be free so consumers didn't have to pay $499 for Microsoft Office. Robertson has just produced such a tool called AjaxWrite, released a couple of days ago.
