  • Abdul Hamed Kiwan · 9 months ago
    Hi
    I am a Plaxo member, would like to thank you for plaxo its really helping me alot.
    i want to ask if there is any way that i can get data from Plaxo, for example I need to send my company profile to all advertising agencies in United Arab Emirates is this possible?
    My question is: how can plaxo help me to get the data I need to promote my business?
    Thanks, i am looking forwart to your earliest reply.
    Best regards

    WOW there are some hateful people out there. I hope your hatred isn't like that with everyone you know. Peace to you people, It's just cable and internet, NOT life or death. Seriously, if you talked to any company the way some of you do, do you really expect them to do their best. You have to remember that companies are made up of PEOPLE like YOU. So treat them as a human being some kind of fool. If you talked to me that way over the phone to get something done, I would be more likely to hang up on you or not take care of the situation at all and say that I did. If someone talked to you this way do you really think you would do your best to make sure they were taken care of. Put yourself in their shoes and talk with some dignity, respect and intelligence.
    Thanks

    If you actually believe that corporations behave like "normal" human beings then you've got a screw loose! Corporations are made for profit. The fustrated people above are venting at the corporation Comcast and not individuals who work there AFAIK. The only similarity of corporations with humans is that of a psychopath.
  • Robert Kasteel · 1 year ago
    I think you are all "bull shit ".I have read most of the pages you have provided and you have said basically
    "ZERO" furthermore your Robert Van Kasteel is utilising my birth name and therefore unless "HE" is willing to create some form of response mechanism without my outlaying my personal information and internet details I will be tracking your site through the appropriate bodies to ensure the so called product you advertise is exposed.

    To you Robert van Kasteel, respond immediately. Your site attracts personal material particular to myself and family which is not public viewing. You are not a Kasteel to start with. You are not a 'van Kasteel' nor are you a 'van de Kasteel'. The Kasteels are a very tight and strong hereditery family throughout the past 400 years. You are not one of them. To depict youself as a Kasteel or a 'van' or 'van der' Kasteel is total falsification.

    Should you not respond I will be taking appropriate action against your so called site and business to ensure my and my family personal information s no longer readily accessible as a result of your business name.

    Will the real Slim Shady (Bob Kasteel from the noble hereditary heritage of the legacy of another great, but in the end, human linage... sorry, not the gods) please raise your hand... AND GET THE F*$K OVER IT! Seriously lame complaint... though most complaints not related to harassment or brutality are.

    WHAT ABOUT OUR PRIVACY for MY CONFIDENTIAL ADDRESS BOOK that you guys host in your servers and now you actually SHARE with Comcast?. Your pledge was not to SHARE this info and you are actually sharing it with Comcast. I did not sign up at any Comcast service is my data going to be used by them without my permission?. I am concerned, or should I say very concerned?. Would like to hear from you..

    What happened to the facebook deal? That was a much better fit then comcast. This really surprises me.
  • Ron · 1 year ago
    I am sorry you were forced to sell or merge the company, but this was planned for some time. The market for billable services is expanding and Plaxo's model complements a number of platforms, ie. Facebook und Comcast. By selling to a company, however, known as a ISP and Telco-service provider it is seems clear that lack of cash flow and a need for billable model were needed. This service should be repackaged and resold to Telcos as an Value-Added service in order to insure Customer retention.

    wuau! It is true. What about the privacy? all of you who signed up with this people are now in hand of that evil corporation. My god! bye bye prvacy! you couls try to unite and sue. who knows, everyone sues each other in the US.
  • Max · 1 year ago
    Mr van Kasteel,
    There are plenty of these kind of people on the internet. It's your turn now not to waiste your time and contact the site and request immediate action by exposing information regarding the subject that enrolled with your information as to their IP address and other possible information which you can use for authorities to investigate these crime commiters.
    Success in your endeavours and I sure hope you will be able in straithening things out with these bastards who are constantly stealing others personal information for their benefits.

    Sincerely,

    PI - Max.
  • Max · 1 year ago
    Sorry I made a mistake. It is Mr Kasteel who has the problem. Success with solving this problem.

    These things are rarely a good thing for the customer. Since when did corporations exist that put the customer first? Comcast are a good example. They'll readily sell me more and more TV channels containing ever more dross, but the internet service sucks, because they don't make money out of it like they do TV. I don't want 300+ TV channels, I want 50MB+ internet, but until or unless they see some kind of maximized shareholder revenue in that, they're not interested.

  • RE · 1 year ago
    I would like to know how I c an retrieve the information that has been shared with Plaxo. I like all the other Plaxo customers joined under the premise that there would be no information sharing. I truly do not want to sacrifice the trust that I have built with the contacts I have because Plaxo breached their contract. Back in 2004 when I joined I scoured their privacy agreement looking for indicators that if they were to sell that they would release my information.

    I am very worried that Comcast will misuse the information that I ported between one computer to another under the misconception that there was a level of privacy.
  • RedStickGuy · 1 year ago
    We use plaxo's tool that lets people log into their various emails and get us the emails on out website. Will this merger mean that this feature will be discontinued? If so, any suggestions for alternatives?

    Check it ..Comcast is one of the largest and most trusted cable providers in the country, offering customers top of the line products for all of their digital communications and entertainment needs. Comcast Communications also provides superior customer service and technical assistance, with support readily available — day or night
  • a customer · 1 year ago
    i dont really see a lot of difference since comcast bought out time warner in my market - except i get espn2hd and dont get HDNET and my internet cost has increased $8 and my over all bill is up about $25.

    Based on that i would start planning on paying for your Plaxo services
  • AJ · 1 year ago
    LOL!

    Sports, you forgot the line: Or so says the customer relations blurb that Comcast provided me with in order so that I can come onto blogs like this one and pretend to be a satisfied customer who sings their praises.

    How much did they pay you to post that?
  • Disgruntled Person · 1 year ago
    Dear Plaxo/Comcast users:

    I had previously registered with Plaxo . I decided to not use the service, as I already was receiving spam each time I created a new Comcast mailbox - before I had a chance to send a message using it. Directly sharing personal information (my contact list) with a third party didn't seem wise.

    Today I received a Business connection request. in the name of from someone that I knew. When I went to the indicated address I entered a circular trap of signing in /going nowhere. It appears to be impossible to accept an invitation.

    It is inconceivable that a legitimate social networking site would work this poorly. What this looks like is a VARIATION OF PHISHING and social engineering where the attack vector contacts an attcaker and VOLUNTEERS INFORMATION without being asked.

    The information that a subscriber voluntarily provides can be used to gather validated email addresses with known social relationships.

    This can be used as an attack vector for phishing, and is more effective than an email worm. When combined with the "single sign-on" security problem of many people using the same email address, user name and password for every site they visit (unbelievable but true), using this site amounts to financial and social suicide.

  • eK · 1 year ago
    I liked the old Plaxo when it wasn't trying to be Face book.. I don't necessarily want to be connected to everyone in my address book but I would like to be able to get updated info from people with out having to BE CONNECTED. I think you have lost part of what made plaxo work. It used to be I sent out an update request and people filled in the info and that was that....Now people shy away from answering because they don't want or need another social network and as a result I don't have updated information in my address book......something for you to think about!

    I looked into and signed up for Plaxo over 1 year ago. At that Time, I decided to not use the service. I cancelled my account and tried to eliminate any sign that I was there. Just today recieved a invite from a friend that they had signed up. Well the FUNNY part is that plaxo somehow ppicked out of their list of over 350 people; 3 names that just happened to be on my old list.
    I'll bet anyone $10.00 that plaxo doe snot keep their privacy policy in mind when trying to promote their product. AND NOW COMCAST?!?!? fuckin forget it.

    Message de michelle:
    Bonjour , Je suis Mlle Michelle Gasi de nationalité ivoirienne et la fille de ALFRED GASI je suis âgé de 20 ans . Mon père était un architecte auprès du gouvernement ivoirien sous le manda de premier président de la république de la cote d'ivoire. Je vous informe que mon père est tombée gravement malade et a été conduire a l'Hospital international FAJIP a Genève et il est décédé suite a sa malade le 20 Janvier 2008 et a été enterré. Avant sa mort il a déposer une malle métallique que contiens la somme de 3.500.000 d'euros Qui se trouve actuellement en garde dans une compagnie de sécurité prive ici a Abidjan il nous a informé que cette somme était pour construction des hôtels de luxe. En effet, depuis le décès de mon père ,mes beaux parents ne font que comploter contre ma Maman et moi parce qu'ils estiment que n'ayant pas été marié légalement avec mon défunt père, ma maman ne doit rien hériter de lui,ainsi tous les biens de mon défunt père ont été pris de force par ses parents,ses comptes bancaire,et ses maisons qu'il possédait. C'est seulement l'existence de ces fonds qui ont été dissimulés dans le colis et déposés au sein de la compagnie qu'ils ignorent. lors du dépôt de la caisse a la compagnie de sécurité mon père n'a pas révélé le vrai contenu de la boîte à cette société. Néanmoins il a déclaré le dépôt comme biens de famille pour des raisons de sécurité.Compte tenu du climat politique instable en Cote d´Ivoire , j'ai décidé de chercher un partenaire afin d'investir cette somme hors de la Côte D'ivoire dans des domaines rentables, c'est donc la raison pour laquelle je viens vers vous pour solliciter votre assistance et nous aider à investir dans votre pays. La meilleure méthode pour conclure cette transaction vue la tension politique ici dans mon pays, serait d'expédier la caisse contenant les fonds dans votre pays. La compagnie de sécurité a la possibilité de nous faciliter les choses en expédiant cette caisse dans votre pays par la voie diplomatique que j'apprécie beaucoup. Dès l'arrivée de ces fonds dans votre pays, vous allez les récupérer et les sauvegarder et engager les démarches pour nous aider à venir s'établir dans votre pays. nous vous demandons également de rechercher des affaires fiables et lucratives, de sorte que nous puissions mon ma Maman et moi investir sagement et par la suite venir vous rejoindre pour vivre au près de vous dans votre pays et poursuivre nos études et cherche un grande clinique dans votre pays pour les soins de de ma maman qui soufre d'un cancer . Nous avons à l'esprit de vous donner 20 % de toute la somme 3.500.000 d'euros , et la part de 15% dans n'importe quel investissement que nous ferons au moment venu si vous acceptez de nous aider. Cette fortune que nous vous avons indiquée devrait demeurer confidentielle. Que le seigneur vous bénisse et vous garde. Cordialement Merci. MLLE MICHELLE GASI

    Comcast sucks and that is why I discontinued my premium subscription of Plaxo service. Until then I loved the service as a very early subscriber. But I know comcast and is is only a matter of time until they screw up Plaxo or drive the cost through the roof.

    I am sure that Ben and co left the deal with a truck load of cash. Good for them. Bad for us.

    WHAT ABOUT OUR PRIVACY for MY CONFIDENTIAL ADDRESS BOOK that you guys host in your servers and now you actually SHARE with Comcast?. Your pledge was not to SHARE this info and you are actually sharing it with Comcast. I did not sign up at any Comcast service is my data going to be used by them without my permission?. I am concerned, or should I say very concerned?. I want to be remove from this site and any site you or this fake organization be longs to.
