Recently I used their new functionality and synched it with gmail and aol. I just wanted to have access to these contacts in one place. LO and behold Plaxo starts sending out emails to people on my gmail and aol lists, who are plaxo members, with my personal info! It did not ask me for permission. And I didn't even know it was sending these out untill I started receiving responses. Their customer service response gets an F for their canned reply to my very concerned email...

Ah, I've just checked. You've been bitten by that horror of a "feature" in Wordpress which attempts to fix invalidly nested XHTML but actually just trashes validly nested XHTML instead. We have it in our known problems list. To prevent it happening in the future, just go to Options->Writing in your WP dashboard, un-tick "WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically" and click "update options". I'll send you the tiny fix by email for the current review so that we can index it properly. We have so far been unsuccessful in convincing the WP guys to fix their utterly broken option. Post-registering shouldn’t be a problem.

I'd assumed that the call to your ratings stars might summon some sort of spider. I did register the blog on LV but only *after* writing the review.

We'll be releasing an update with some small fixes and formatting changes next week. We currently don't have ping functionality so you do have to register your blog over at LouderVoice for us to pick up your reviews (that's why the vote link isn't working). You can either create a full "publish" relationship between LV and your blog or just simple RSS collection if you only intend using the WP plugin. The use of hreview means your reviews can currently be indexed intelligently by LouderVoice and by the (sadly semi-broken) Technorati Kitchen. However we have heard of at least two other services in the UK alone that will be doing similar very soon. This means your reviews, without any changes, can be part of several different online communities or whichever one works best for you. We are aiming to provide lots more tools in the coming months to make it as trivial as possible to generate reviews for blogs and other platforms. Hi Ian,
