Joi notes that Dan Gillmor is opting out of Plaxo. Great idea, but I thought that I'd done this already.
Hrm.
I just spent the last five minutes dropping every single address I have into their form and responding to their confirmations.
Hopefully I never get another request from them. If anyone wants my vCard, all they have to do is ask.



Thanks for using the Service. We've offered the Opt-out capabilities for about 6 months now as we feel it's the responsible thing for companies to do. The OPT-OUT page is also accessible by clicking the OPT-OUT link included within the Update Request or by searching on "opt-out" from our support site.
I'd also like to point out a few other ways we try to protect your privacy. If you don't recognize the sender, you can click the OPT-OUT link included within the Update Request and we will try to provide you more information about the member than may be included in the email.
You'll give the option to OPT-OUT from receiving further update requests, but you can chose to opt-out from a SPECIFIC user or all Plaxo users.
And we also provide you the ability to request additional information from the Plaxo member as to how they know you and why they wish to stay in touch. Of course, if you don't like the response, you can still opt-out as appropriate.
Hope this helps,
Stacy Martin
Plaxo Privacy Officer
