Marc Canter is known for his prolific writings over the years, pushing for open standards, platforms, APIs, and questioning those who push or support silos and closed systems.
I commend Marc for his positive efforts in those pursuits, and continue to hope that he focuses on them as well, as they strongly overlap with many of my efforts, such as microformats and open data formats in general. I actually see a lot of potential for cooperation and even collaboration as clearly we are pursuing similar interests.
Marc's most recent mention was positive and thus deserves to be listed first.
New efforts by Chris Messina, Brad Fitzpatrick, Dick Hardt, Dave Winer, David Recordon, Dare Obasanjo, Hooman Radfar, Tantek Celik [sic], Joseph Smarr, OpenSocial, Facebook and others have exhilarated me to new levels - knowing that our PeopleAggregator platform would benefit from all their hard work.
Unfortunately Marc has in the past been an ad hominem troll towards me and others. Such behavior is not only unacceptable but unbecoming of someone as influential, experienced, and well-known as Marc and thus I am documenting it until such time as he chooses to stop (appears to have happened as of 2007-12-03 see above), retract his ad hominem attacks, and apologize to those he has attacked.
