Side effects of being up-to-date with Plaxo

We try to keep up to speed on what the blogosphere can tell us about how people are using Plaxo. Lately we’ve seen a few examples of people finding out about important news through their Plaxo network before hearing it through other channels.
First, it looks like Plaxo can help people keep up on employment trends. Dave Evans of Corante blogged about the flight of top people at match.com, which he found out about through Plaxo.
Plaxo also tipped off Derrick Oien that something was happening with SplashBlog, a mobile blogging software company that recently got acquired by Six Apart.
We think it’s cool that Plaxo is keeping people updated about what’s going on with their friends. Just remember: if your Plaxo cards are public, people you have you in their address book will see the changes you make… but that’s the whole point, right?
