Plaxo Labs search is working. Notice that I used the Plaxo search plugin which I installed in Firefox.
(Yes, apparently I need to use the deduper.)
Another surprising feature is a birthday view that was added to contacts:
Too bad I can’t sort by upcoming birthdays. 
But notice that alert? Something about requesting birthdays from your contacts?
Score! Birthday requests are much friendlier than contact information update requests. Who wouldn’t want a birthday ecard in their inbox? 
Finally.
Now if only Plaxo would give a free one day subscription to unlimited premium eCard sends to people on their birthday…
