comcast + plaxo = lame
i may be wrong, but if comcast hopes to enter into the “social media” space by acquiring plaxo they have slim to no chance of delivering upon that hope.
from what I can tell plaxo is a facebook rippoff that attempted to trick users to sign up by offering a sort of business card sync. i know I received about 20 invites from plaxo.
here’s their combined vision:
“Together, we intend to deliver on a vision of making ‘social media’ a natural part of the lives of regular people, not just early-adopters,” the Plaxo execs wrote.
For example, someone could post family photos online at Plaxo’s site, and have them viewable by family members, “whether they are online, at work, on their mobile device, or in their living room watching TV. And you should be able to discover new shows to watch, based on what your friends and coworkers have recommended.”
this seems like a “me too” purchase that will amount to a lame “social media” offering by comcast.
