Deathmatch: Spoke vs. Plaxo. May the best online contact manager win.
Spoke.com has recently gotten some buzz in the Social Media world as worth taking another hard look at vs. Plaxo. Both Plaxo and Spoke are Web Based Applications that can also integrate into MS Outlook to help you manage and organize contacts. As we all know, keeping up to date on e-mail changes, addresses, Skype IDs and the like is a huge hassle. The idea of a fire and forget service that will keep them up-to-date for you is compelling.
So I’ve scheduled a Deathmatch: Plaxo vs. Spoke using friends, family, and contacts from around the world as volunteer, um, lab rats. Results of the Deathmatch will be posted here in 2 weeks time (November 4th, 2010). If you want to participate or have an opinion then sign up for one or ideally both and send your feedback to me here or by direct mail.
