MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.—June 21, 2006— Plaxo®, Inc. President and CEO, Ben Golub, and Vice President of Marketing, John McCrea, will participate in dynamic panel discussions that will explore innovative new ideas and emerging technologies at Supernova 2006, June 21-23, 2006, The Palace Hotel, San Francisco. The Supernova conference focuses on the transformation of computing, communications, digital media, and business.

The panels include:

The Personal Infosphere
Wednesday, June 21, 2006 at 8:30 am, Wharton West, San Francisco, CA.
Ben Golub will join panelists Dalton Caldwell of imeem, Hans Peter Brondmo of Plum, and Yael Elish of eSnips.
Panel Description: Taming the torrent of information available to each of us will require tools that are inherently social (because there is wisdom in crowds), converged (because everything isn’t on the Web), and multi-faceted (because everyone sees the world differently). A new generation of tools is using these characteristics to deliver value in a surprising range of contexts

Who Owns “You”
Friday June 23, 2006 at 2:30 pm, the Palace Hotel, San Francisco
John McCrea will participate in a roundtable discussion with Seth Goldstein, Root Markets and Kyle Brinkman, MySpace.
Panel Description: In an increasingly virtual, distributed world, we all depend more and more heavily on our online identities and reputations. There are, however, strongly divergent views about who can and should control those assets, or even whether it's right to consider them as assets. Many significant network-based services and applications will depend heavily on how our digital reputations are conceived and managed.
