Comcast Corp. plans to acquire social networking Web site Plaxo, the Wall Street Journal reports. The cable operator is seeking to broaden the range of services for its 27 million subscribers with the contact-information and media-exchange Web site, the newspaper says. Subscribers could potentially be able to share photos through their PCs, televisions and phones, said Comcast Interactive Media head Samuel Schwartz, the newspaper notes.
