We got a ton of emails today from bay area locals that someone spray-painted a billboard on Highway 101:
Billboard on Highway 101, near San Mateo exit (92)
So, I just wanted to make it clear to everyone that, to our knowledge, no Plaxo employee did this and that we do not condone illegal activity or criminal behavior. Our best guess is that this was done by one of our over-zealous users or by one of our detractors (to make us look bad). I guess we could say "thanks", but really it's not nice and please don't do anything like this again.
If anyone has information about who did this, please contact the San Mateo Police.
And, if anyone from Apple is reading this, please know that we are sorry that this has happened to your fine billboard. [btw: We'd love to partner with you guys, give me a call.]

This is ridiculous! Apple must be pissed!
I read about a similar prank a few years ago where someone changed "Think Different" to "Think Doomed".

And, there's the now famous version of the billboard created by artist Ron English, where he created a version with Charles Manson: http://www.popaganda.com/book/intro.shtml
posted April 1? Is this a belated April's fool post?
HaHa, yeah, right. Call me when there´s an OS X version of this!
BTW, make sure that it is only a gateway between iCal and OS X´s Address Book, and not yet another address book / calendar!

You mean like the Plaxo for Mac client?

Yes, Plaxo for Mac is a good start, but we have even better ideas. Send me an email: rikk@plaxo.com.
I saw it this afternoon. I can't believe that someone would do this.
