Plaxo gets HipCal

Contact service provider Plaxo said today it acquired HipCal.

Plaxo said:

The addition of HipCal's team and technology will dramatically accelerate Plaxo's efforts in the calendar space, bringing lifestyle management tools such as appointment management, iCal publication and subscription, and group calendars to Plaxo members by the end of 2006.

Plaxo's Rikk Carey answers What do Plaxo, Pimps, and Hippopotamuses have in common?, "an insider's view of why we joined forces with these young guns from upstate New York".

What's up with the pimp reference? "btw: The original name of HipCal was MyPIMP.com. And, in case you didn't know, "PIM" is a common acronym for Personal Information Manager," Carey says.
