Google to Purchase Plaxo

I’m a Plaxo user and I love the service. I was hesitant at first, but a friend of mine kept hounding me about how great the service was and that they weren’t out to just harvest e-mail addresses for spammers.

Colbert Low has an interesting post at Profy.com about the possibility of Google purchasing Plaxo. Although it came from left-field for me, I think it makes plenty of sense. Google is always looking for more potential customers and “eyes” for advertising dollars. Plaxo is a great and simple service, and the one thing it might need to improve is just a big “trusted” name behind them.

With Plaxo’s web savvy users’ database of 15M, it should be a great bargain for Google or any other party interested in acquiring them for advertising purposes. But let’s just wait and see what happens in another 6 months’ time.

Interesting for sure, we’ll see what happens in 6 months, or maybe less.
