    The company that manages to sync contact lists PERFECTLY.. (not you plaxo) will be top of my list. Why Facebook couldnt get together with the email providers, and provide a secure API that syncs my google / hotmail / yahoo / outlook emails together, so that they all have the right info is beyond me.

    I guess someone somewhere, is trying to hold onto all of that information as they see it as theres. To be fair, its not. My friends are MY friends and not facebooks. Make it easy for me FB and I will convince everyone I know to get on it, so that we all have a decent connection.

    It cant be that difficult..

    Nick, great insight and great post. One of your best to date.
