One of the coolest aspects of Plaxo is that your address book is self-updating. When Plaxo members in your address book change their contact information, it also gets automatically updated in your address book. Vice versa, when you change your contact info on Plaxo, people who have you in their address book can get your latest info. The importance and value of this feature is increasing rapidly as the Plaxo network continues to grow and the percentage of Plaxo members in your address book continues to rise.
Today we are enhancing this core feature by giving Plaxo members greater control over how they notify others and receive notification of such changes.
Receiving Member-to-Member Notifications
New choices, now available from your communication preferences, include:
- Daily or weekly digest. Instead of getting individual member-to-member e-mail notifications each time someone changes their contact info, you can choose to get a single weekly message.
- Silent update. You have the option to suppress member-to-member notification e-mails globally, or for specific individuals in your address book.
Communicating Your Own Changes
When you’re updating your own contact information online you also have a new “silent mode” option, which still automatically updates Plaxo members who have permission to see your contact info, but withholds sending them an e-mail notification. This option is particularly useful when making small changes to your contact info.
As always, you continue to have control over who gets your home or work contact info via your sharing options .
We hope these changes improve the Plaxo experience even more and as always, we want to hear what you think.
