    Plaxo - worth the effort???

    I've had a few contacts from various Forums/Networks inviting me to join/link to them via Plaxo.

    Is it worth it?
    Is it (just another) LinkedIn type thingy?

    Advice/comments welcomed.............

    It was a precursor to LinkedIn, and I've got an account but I never look at it. It was a bit more rapacious with wanting (and using) your information as I seem to remember and I was a bit put off by it.

    It might be different now, but there aren't as many people using it as there are with LinkedIn.

      Cheers..... I might give it a miss for now then..... They are all people I am "linked" to in some form or another anyway.......... so no real benefit in "linking" again.......

        If you are looking for a real benefit I'd recommend you to spend less time on CUK and more time on your Plan B.

                  Doesn't that break 'socks' compliance rules?
