Send Alec Saunders a Bouquet, NOW!
A wonderful thing these social networks. Plaxo has been emailing me for the past week to remind me that it’s (SM Friend, iotum CEO)
Alec Saunders’ birthday tomorrow. 
Happy birthday, Alec!
The strange thing about Plaxo, is their “zeal” in trying to monetize these birthday announcements. I can send Alec a FREE ecard (which would likely get caught in the spam filter!) Plaxo offers me other options to show our “AlecIsOlderToday” love…
For $4 – A printed card, mailed. Not a bad deal actually – but the notice was too late.
For $25 – A bouquet of fresh flowers… what do you say Alec, daisies? daffodils?? carnations??? LOL
For $unlimited – Plaxo redirects me to the RedEnvelope site to choose sexy gifts for “her” (Alec)… gee… maybe it’s just me… but that profiling algorithm isn’t working quite right!

I’ve only just seen Plaxo add this. They wanted me to send Brad fresh flowers too. How sweet.
Anyway I already send printed cards via an online service and their greeting cards cost between $1.47 and 62c, plus postage. So Plaxo has lots of margin for their profit
