The Permanent Opt-Out feature of Plaxo has not worked for me any of the times I have ever tried to use it. I get this text every time I try and this has been over the span of months and multiple attempts…

This is the page url: https://www.plaxo.com/opt_out

This is the error:

Sorry, but we are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again in a few minutes. If this problem persists, please contact customer care.

This is an insidious way for them to pretend that they have a permanent opt-out feature without really activating it and hiding behind “temporary” difficulties.

No, actually I was reflecting on some ideas I read in the other blog (referred to in my post), so I assumed that people who’d read my post either were already Plaxo users or have heard about it…

My guess is that when you wrote, “Plaxo is great, it made contact management so much easier”, you were trying to provide an introduction to Plaxo for non-members. That is a good idea, since people with different backgrounds are often happy to learn about popular sites from other communities.

Please provide a better description of services like Plaxo in the future. “Contact management” is too vague. I can’t tell what kind of contact information it manages or what it does to manage the information.

Without clicking the link, I don’t get much information on it. While clicking a link may sound easy, there are *a lot* of links on the internet. Without more reason, a casual observer from Technorati is unlikely to click the link.

Even after clicking the link, there’s just a slow flash animation on the site that gives another vague idea of what Plaxo is.
