OPW -- June 26 -- There's a new social network on the launch runway, worthy of a mention. Marc Canter is a visionary and a troublemaker and he's making his social networking move. Not sure why it took this long, but he's taken his sweet time to build something worthwhile. fyi, Marc was the founder of Macromedia. I remember him most as the loud guy giving Jonathan Abrams (Friendster founder) and the rest of a social networking panel a hard time in 2003 at a Stanford Vlab panel presentation. He called for open standards, more user empowerment. Marc built PA on his own dime to allow people to connect their networks and identities in one place. An advanced social network for an older group. Tags, photos, video, groups, networks, blogs...usable, clean, customizable...nice. More fun than Linkedin (like there's any fun there), more serious than Myspace. I think I might have found a new home. - Mark Brooks
