It seems that google cant enough of him already.

Pulse is maturing nicely as a Social Network Aggregator. and Plaxo has been an early supporter of OpenSocial. Plaxo's syncing tools could be of real benefit to Google for not only gMail and Google calendar but also for Android. Plaxo already works with mobile phones and I believe has deals with some carriers to do mobile address book backup. All these things make their field proven
tools attractive.

And let's not forget - they have even worked out how to scrape data off of Facebook.

my guess is the previous rumor was "creatively" constructed as a stalking horse for the true acquirer, which appears to be Google.

and it does seem like this would be a valuable acquisition for Google, which would be a win-win for both them and Plaxo...

@Zoo: Oh please, no one wants their shitty web 1.5 product.
