[excerpt]I’m a little bit surprised by this news, even if it’s pretty clear that companies for which a huge community is a big deal are theoretically all potential buyers.[/excerpt]
It seems that Plaxo has been bought by cable company Comcast for something around $175M. So, no Facebook nor Google, but a big player in the market of access and media.
The main driver of the deal seems to be Plaxo’s address book capability. No Pulse, but the service as it had been designed at the early beginning (and, in my opinion, the best usage you can make of Plaxo).
Who’s going to be next?
comcast, deal, luca filigheddu, plaxo 3.0
