It would also include personal anonymous contacts now that AOL and other services allow their email to be read via POP3 on Outlook. I am glad Plaxo's new interface makes it clear who gets to be updated by the one profile presented by the site for a specific email address or set of email addresses. SenderOK works on the same principle, bringing specific photo business cards to the header panel of an email application depending on the email address that was sending.

If one only has a Mac to deal with, then certainly .Mac is great for syncing the basic PIM info, and also for syncing files. Throwing a PC into the mix, though, means you just about have to go with Plaxo or some of the other methods I've discussed in this blog (check the sidebar for the popular posts ... some of them deal with syncing). The only real complaint I've heard about .Mac is the cost. The complaint I hear most often about other sync services is duplicate data ... something that is hard to avoid when you get two or three machines involved. Hi Nathan,

Which service is more complete and more compatible for which kinds of users? Does .Mac work for PC options also or only Mac ones? Has anyone compared the syncing differences between Plaxo and .Mac?

I have been looking for a tool like this and I just signed up. It is doing a very good job so far. Thanks Bruce. I have been looking for a tool like this and I just signed up.
