We're announcing a deal with Yahoo! today where Plaxo 2.0 (to be released later this month) will feature Yahoo! Search from within the Plaxo Toolbar, inside Outlook and Outlook Express. This is the first time that a major Web search engine will be available from inside Outlook. There are a lot of times when I'm reading something in my inbox and I want to search on it, but right now I have to fire up a Web browser and type in the keywords. Now I can just search directly from within Outlook, without losing the thread of what I'm reading. We plan to offer even tighter integration of search and e-mail in future versions of Plaxo, so this is just the beginning of what we have in mind.
Plaxo 2.0 will also have a bunch of other cool features, so stand by. As always, you can still download Plaxo 1.5 today from our Web site and then upgrade easily (and of course for free) to 2.0 when it's released.
