partnerships Plaxo has with online retailers, such as GrowerFlowers.com and Barnes & Noble.

fulfillment process easier, as well, since the contact information
is already all up to date.

sending birthday presents, gifts or cards -- and make it simple and easy and
at the right place and time, " explained Carey.
The new premium services are expected to generate revenues for Plaxo
that will help it to monetize its user base. The basic Plaxo product is
free and, according to Carey, will remain free.
