Ever since the launch of the beta version of Pulse, we’ve been adding features at a rapid pace, often on a weekly release cycle. We’ve kept the service in beta all these months, because we’ve known that we were still missing some really important pieces. Chief among those was a member directory that would let you search for people by name. Indeed, “People Search” has been one of our most requested features in surveys, focus groups, and usability testing.
Today, we open then doors on that new capability. Connecting to your friends and colleagues who use Plaxo just got a whole lot easier.
In order to protect the privacy of our 20 million members, we’ve made the process of joining the directory strictly opt-in, with the ability to opt-out at any time.
Going the opt-in route is great for protecting privacy, but it does mean that People Search will start from a relatively small base – and then get better over time. So, please be patient, while the number of people who have opted in grows over time.
