If you don't use Plaxo, you may have gotten an e-mail from a friend or colleague asking you to update your contact information. The e-mail links you to a Web page that lets you fill out as much or as little information as you'd like to share (via a secure web form). Previously, you had to re-enter this information every time you got such a request util you decided to join Plaxo yourself (at which point you can just maintain your own cards and share them without any e-mails). But recently we've added a new option to save your contact information when replying to an update request so you don't have to keep re-typing it.
All you have to do is check the "save my info" box and create a password the next time you respond an update request. After that, if another Plaxo member asks you for your contact information, you can just click to send some or all of the information you previously entered. If you decide to download Plaxo and become a full member, your cards will be pre-populated and ready-to-go. It's a great way to start benefiting from Plaxo without downloading any software or managing your own address book. Give it a try next time a friend or colleague asks you for your latest information!
