Women, Tech, and Everything Else

Gayle Laakmann

After three internships at Microsoft, one internship at Apple, and three years at Google, Gayle Laakmann decided that she'd spent enough time at the biggies. She left Google with best wishes to her co-workers and went out to explore the world. She spent six weeks in Argentina and three weeks in Asia. Gayle is now back in Seattle exploring the startup scene.

Projects & Activities

Gayle Laakmann spends her time working on CareerCup and Seattle Anti-Freeze. CareerCup is a source for technical interviews, job postings, interview training, and more. Seattle Anti-Freeze is a company Gayle founded a year ago that organizes parties and other events for people in their 20s and 30s.

Stupid, stupid plaxo

Oh Plaxo, you were so close... so close...

Your syncing between Google Calendar and Outlook was great. Almost. But in the process, you've just spammed a whole bunch of my friends by sending out event cancellations for events that were 2+ months ago (well, let's hope it was only prior events and not future events). You also deleted the full guest list for an upcoming event and - for those who have Gmail - told them that it was canceled. Why, Plaxo, why? You came so close...

Maybe I'll try it again when you're out of beta.

Anyone got any good solutions for syncing between Google Calendar and Outlook (or Google Calendar and Blackberry)?

    Hi Gayle, my name is Hong Kwon. I'm a product manager with Plaxo and came across your blog post. I'm very sorry to hear about what happened to your calendar! I'd like to have a chance to check out what happened with your account. If you have a chance, please drop me an e-mail with your registered e-mail address at Plaxo, and we'll take a look and see what happened.

    Again, my apologies for the lousy experience. Looking forward to hearing from you.
