Marc Canter Progress Update on PeopleAggregator
by Allen Stern on December 26th, 2007
Marc Canter has posted a pretty stern update about his social networking software, PeopleAggregator, and his consultancy, Broadband Mechanics. It feels like Marc is shouting throughout the post but he does make several key updates:
- Acquired $400k in angel funding to supplement the consultancy revenue that Broadband Mechanics is generating
- There are several social networks built on the PeopleAggregator platform. Marc notes that only a couple of them are pushing the envelope on what his software can do
- Lastly Marc discusses where social networking in general is going in 2008 – worth reading. The basic concepts are: open social networking, open logins (OpenID, oAuth, etc.), and widgets will be big
Couple suggestions for Marc:
- Make sure the PeopleAggregator site works – from the Broadband Mechanics site, it throws up an ugly error. From his blog post, it just sits there and does nothing
- Create a robust site using the PeopleAggregator platform – everyone wants to buy the car with the 24" rims and the big stereo, no one wants a stock car
- If you are going to come strong, then come strong. Create charts that outline the functions that PeopleAggregator versus the current crop of white label social networks: Magnify.net, Ning and KickApps
- There are plenty of other industry tech blogs – if a few don’t give you what you need, try some others.
