In their own words
"Portcard.net is a social networking registry that protects children against predators who currently exploit social networking sites by removing the total anonymity of the Internet. Portcard.net authenticates the identity of the person behind a username and stores that information in the event there is a need to identify a particular registered user to law enforcement."
Why it might be a killer
Keeping your children safe is important today on the net. There are many creepy people who create accounts to prey on innocent children. PortCard.net is a way for you to sift out the suspicious users. Once you have registered all of you information is secure it will only be accessed by authorities if you are a bad guy, so you have nothing to worry about.
Some questions
There are still many people who have not register at these user verification sites, so searching for users can be a bit useless. Verification tools such as PortCard may be useful but in the near future these tools may be a necessary part of creating a profile on social networks. If this step ever happens PortCard would be useless because social networks would use their own tools, like how MySpace uses IMSafer at the moment. PortCard will have to deal with competition from similar tools that are free. Having any fee, be it only $10 a year, will deter people from registering and using the tool.
