Fuck integration using closed source INSECURE protocols. I’m waiting impatiently when one of these organizations will start selling or be forced to give what they know about people. I hope many people will get fucked.

Plaxo are also working with Google to perform GMail contact syncing too. They are waiting for Google to provide a contacts API for them to be able to do this.

Plaxo just released a new feature that enables sync with LinkedIn. Here’s a blogpost on it (that references this blogpost):

Yeah – I’m waiting for a whole raft of new features in LinkedIn, e.g. links to del.icio.us bookmarks, photos, Plaxo import, etc, etc.

As for the relationship to Google you may want to read the About page:

Looks like Google have quite a vested interest in LinkedIn.
