Do you say this cos they tell you they don’t, or did you visit their server farm and confirm no logs are kept? ;) ;)

I find it hard to trust these sites, MySpace, Facebook included, that want your login details for email services so you can do stuff.

I did visit their server farm and no logs are kept ;) You do make a good point.

Most of the contacts I'm connected with don't use it for that either. The main reason to use it, for us, is the feature where it automatically updates everyone's address book once someone changes something in his/her contact details. That way you can be sure your contact info is always up-to-date. Keepm doesn't support that, nor do the other solutions afaik. Bradley, in my case I’m not using Plaxo for the social networking.

I tried Keepm last year. It sucks. Try to add instant messaging information... and then view the contact card. IM is left aligned... no one can read the information. Looks Keepm never heard of html tables and right alignment. And Plaxo... well it is too much for any normal person. Who really needs a possibility to connect thru social networking???? Most of the users want an address book where they can store contacts. And there is really no easy-to-use and user-friendly service out there. And of course Google's contact manager... where contacts are stored that you don't even know. lol Looks like the contacts.txt text file in the c directory is still the best solution :roll: I wonder why there is no REAL address book service on the internet.
