Plaxo Toolbar is an internet explorer add-on which allows users to have access to their address book, calendar, and other useful apps.

Many users appreciate how convenient and useful the Plaxo app is. Whether a user wants to access information in their calendar or find contact information, it's simple to locate what they need. Many users have replaced traditional calendar apps with the Plaxo toolbar extension since the simple drop-down format allows them to stay on the same webpage. Users don't have to exit their current task in order to find the information they need.

The calendar drop-down allows users to schedule or view their events. Plaxo always keeps the users' information in sync with their Outlook profile. Additionally, users can send quick personal notes to their friends or coworkers looking for the latest contact information. Interestingly, Plaxo automatically updates the users' address book for them when new contact information gets sent to the Outlook app.

Plaxo handles the issue of contact info and calendar data being out of sync. Users never have to worry that they have the wrong information because the toolbar app handles updates automatically.

Many wish that the Plaxo toolbar worked with Google Chrome or other operating systems. Unfortunately, Plaxo only works with Windows and only syncs with Outlook information, meaning that data from other apps is up to the user to keep track of.

Despite these drawbacks, several companies use Plaxo to keep up to date with corporate events, contacts, and calendar information. Plaxo makes sharing information within an organization easier than ever.
