According to a recent article in the business section of the Los Angeles Times, Napster co-founder creates new company to address E-mail. Company co-founder, Sean Parker, is the head of a Silicon Valley software company, Plaxo, Inc., which is distributing a free system that sends e-mail messages to a user’s correspondents asking for updated contact information. Once received, the system automatically changes the user’s MS Outlook contact list to reflect the new data.
The world belongs to the young (or at least the young at heart)! Parker is only 22 years of age. On his Board of Directors is, among others, ex-Yahoo, Inc. CEO, Tim Koogle.
Plaxo’s competitors include 2 year old GoodContacts.com Inc. And AddressSender.com. But, how can you beat free?
