Don't leave home without Plaxo

Finally, Plaxo synchronizes with my main Google Calendar but not the other Google Calendars I subscribe to. (Google Calendar lets you subscribe to other people's calendars, plus public calendars like "U.S. Holidays," and mashes them into a single view.) Plaxo's Google Calendar sync would be much more powerful if it grabbed all subscribed calendars.

Despite these relatively minor shortcomings, though, Plaxo -- especially Plaxo Premium -- is a powerful, easy-to-use and practical organizer of information about everyone you know. It's particularly useful for mobile professionals. If you haven't checked out Plaxo lately, I strongly advise you to visit the Plaxo Web site and sign up for an account. And try the Plaxo Premium 30-day free trial. Particularly if you're frequently mobile, I think you'll be blown away.
