I’m sure Matt, Adam, Gabor and the talented Xobni crew must realize this, but I would say Plaxo is their main competition.
Matt recently wrote a note about community.xobni.com, suggested to them by Chief Xobni Evangelist, Greg.
I left this comment for him:
“Matt,
I’m just waiting for two things from Xobni.
1. Xobni on the web (maybe email is coming? Is that what i heard in the Intruders tv interview?)
2. Xobni plugin everywhere: get my contacts/conversations form Fbook, Gmail, Twitter, etc.”
Honestly, Xobni is an amazing tool. The potential is limitless, and once it gets itself online, it will be a huge killer app.
Right now I’m on my sister’s computer so I can’t use Xobni to find info I need, so if/when that power is transferred to the internet (in my opinion preferably as a plugin, rather than a stand-alone service) than sparks will fly.
One thought: if they’re partnering with Microsoft’s development program, does that mean we won’t see a Xobni plugin for Gmail?
