While setting up the company, one of the jobs that I thought would be the simplest but turned out to be quite complicated, was consolidating my address books. Over the years I ended up with four different address books on different computers, PDAs and of course, my mobile.

I was looking at some really dull hours at the computer collating and validating all these addresses, until someone sent me an e-mail, asking me to update my information via Plaxo. Plaxo not only stores your contacts and diary information, it also synchs with Outlook and Palm. Once you’re a member and you’ve downloaded the software, whenever you update your details, all your contacts with Plaxo can be updated automatically. And the basic version is free!
