Thanks, Louis!

Here's my post. Now, gotta run up to SF for the Web 2.0 Expo!

John,

Thanks for the note. Sorry I botched the URL. Doing too many things at once. I fixed it now.

It'd be great to see your follow-up on where Plaxo is taking Pulse. I like the developments you've done, as you can tell, but it just seems like it's forced in some ways - in that whole square peg, round hole problem. :-)

Louis,

Thanks for the thoughtful piece. Indeed, from a marketing perspective, you've identified a key challenge: for those who think of Plaxo as a "business tool" can we expand the brand to encompass all the promise of Pulse? I think I'll write a post on my blog on that. (In the meantime, I noticed the link in your post intended to be to my blog was pointing instead to the wrong place.) Thanks!

Ok, I'm not using Plaxo, so maybe I shouldn't talk about it, but isn't it just a simple feature enabling you to track your comments in one place? After all the social aspect of sharing could be switched off, and visiting cocomments or other sites every time I want to check on the conversation is troublesome.

But you are missing the point. Other than every other lifestream service, here would be the chance to actually 'stay business'.

And as strange as this may seem to some people, not everybody wants a lifestream with everything mixed in there. But just business. You know, where actual money is made and such. :)

Also there is no ONE lifestream to rule it all. There are many with different features and ways to use them. And that is fine.
