Plaxo for Mac v1.0

Plaxo today announced Plaxo for Mac v1.0, bringing the "world's first" smart address book to the Mac community. Plaxo provides members with a single, smart address book that can be used virtually anywhere. "The average person has several email and instant messaging accounts and as a result, they also have contact information in more than one location. Plaxo combines this separate information into one, always updated address book that is accessible within all of the most popular applications so that the same information is available everywhere," according to the company. The desktop client features automatic synchronization between Mac OS X Address Book, Plaxo's online service and a number of other popular communication tools and services, including Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express, AIM, and Thunderbird. In addition, users can import contacts from Netscape, Palm, Yahoo! Mail, and Hotmail accounts. The freely available client requires registration and works on Mac OS X 10.3 Panther and Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
