<p>Plaxo has signed an agreement to be aquired by cable giant Comcast, accoring to a <a href="http://blog.plaxo.com/archives/2008/05/post.html">post on the Plaxo blog</a>. The two companies had previously been working together in partnerships, but have now decided that a permanent merger would maximize their efforts.</p>

<p>Those efforts include a unified approach to mashing up tv and social media. For example, one of the goals includes photo sharing across a variety of mediums including mobile, tv and computer.</p>

<p>Plaxo is known for its online address books that have been instrumental for popular social networking sites. The company is dedicated to <a href="http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/071102-103611">open source</a> and <a href="http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/071121-093318">privacy</a> efforts as well.<br />
