One more voice added to the disappointment with what Plaxo has become. To be honest, I somewhat expected a decline in service of some sort when they were gobbled up by Comcast, but this is getting ridiculous. I joined Plaxo - as a Premium member - specifically because of the features that (a) enable me to synchronize multiple address book applications on multiple computers, and (b) receive automatic CONTACT INFORMATION updates from people I already know who are also members. I have invited a few people to join, but I'm not one to bombard everyone in my contact list. Likewise, I have added some stuff to Pulse, but I can happily do without it. (I use LinkedIn for business networking, and I'm too busy for a lot of social networking.) I liked Plaxo the way it was pre-Pulse. Now, I am searching for a replacement. If I can't find one, I guess I'll have to create my own database in OpenOffice and then quit from this. Unless, of course, Plaxo makes some changes.

Mind you, I don't have any beef with the existence of Pulse. I just don't want to be REQUIRED to use it, and I don't want Pulse to - as it has - detract from the core contact management functionality that I signed up for. I would be very happy with a contacts-only option that is restored back to the way it used to be.
