The dupe? What?
The what? The dupe? Oh, I get it. Vidoop. And what am I doing? Oh, uh…
Is this thing on?
Well, okay, so I’m George, and if I heard right when I got hired five minutes ago (not true, but it feels like it), it looks like I’m the technical communications intern here (my unemployed friends call me a Synergistic Web 2.0 Blogosphere Professional), and it also looks like I’ll be one of a few people talking to you a lot from now on. So let’s get acquainted.
By day, I’m a student at the University of Tulsa, majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics, specializing in computer security (my research focuses on passive network and protocol characterization), but by night, I suppose I’m a technobabble-to-English translator. And by “day”, I mean “spring through fall” and by “night”, I mean “this summer”… But whatever.
In any event, I’m here to create a dialog. I’m here to have a conversation with anyone who’s interested. The people I want to talk to are the ones that I saw lighting up in blogs all over when the product launched last month. Everyone who said “That sounds cool”, everyone who said “I wonder if it…”, and everyone who said “That’s nice, but what about…”: I’m talking to you.
So let’s talk. Let’s talk about the ways you’d hack Vidoop users. Let’s talk about how you’d like to see OpenID move in the future. Let’s talk about anything that’s not clear about the Vidoop technology. Let’s talk about what we’re doing right, and talk about what we’re doing wrong.
I’ll be around, but until next time, I want to hear from you: tell me what you’re thinking, tell me what’s up, and tell me off if you want to. I’m just here to make sure we’re communicating clearly to the Internet, to computer security enthusiasts, and to the world about what we do and what we don’t do.
I’ll be in touch.
