For geeks, they should know not to leave a cell phone next to a microphone while recording. Some parts of this were unlistenable.

But overall, I didn’t see anything that isn’t being done now – importing contact books from different services and different formats, OpenID logins. Good for Plaxo for continuing to push on it, but its still not implemented in a way for end users that saves them time.

I’d like to see real cross recognition of OpenID login, without having to go to the branded OpenID certifier to login. That should be implemented as a secure web service, but it seems no large company (like Google) is willing to let that go. Even Yahoo makes you leave the Flckr login to use their own on the account you supposedly matched up with a Yahoo ID.
