Marc Canter’s got another interesting new toy, this one something he built with some folks. The People Aggregator is basically an outliner for relationships: who I am and how to reach me, who I know and who I would like to know. This kind of listings and directory engine is of high interest to many users–the amazing traffic and number of profiles created on the AOL and AIM People Directories is proof of that.
