Have you ever got a Facebook group invitation saying something like “I lost my cell phone. Please give me your number.” Or “I just moved here is my new address.” What if there were a way to get Facebook to update your address book automatically. You can and best of all its free.
Plaxo is a tool that can connect your address book with Facebook. But it does a lot more than that. It can also purge duplicate addresses and sync your address book with your iPhone or Blackberry.
Here is how to sync Plaxo with Facebook:
Step #1 Sign Up For Plaxo
Go to Plaxo.com and click “sign up now“. Follow the instructions. It’s pretty straight forward.
Step #2 Sync Plaxo & Facebook
You can do this by going to settings -> Facebook or click here.
Step #3 Connect Plaxo With Your Address Book
The true magic comes when you connect Plaxo with your address book. Whether you use Mac’s address book, Yahoo, or Outlook, Plaxo can keep your address book up to date automatically. To sync the address books click here and then click “add sync point” at the bottom of the screen.
Other cool things Plaxo can do:
- Purge your address book from duplicate entries.
- Keep your address book up to date. When you connect with someone, Plaxo will keep both of your contacts for each other up to date.
- Synchronizing your address books. Do you have more than one computer? Plaxo can keep all those computer adress books synced. It even works with the iPhone, Palm and BlackBerry.
- Blog re-syndication: Plaxo can re-syndicate your blog and podcast which is great for search engine rankings and helping grow traffic.

I tried this, but its telling me that to sync with outlook on my computer I need to get Plaxo Premium which is $60/yr. I know I can do a one time CSV file import, but that defeats the purpose. Am I missing something?
