New data released by social media application provider Prospero Technologies has highlighted not only an interesting, if somewhat disturbing trend in the social networking space, but also a potential opportunity for Vidoop as well.
Specifically, despite the rise in the popularity of OpenID and microformat initiatives, of the more than 50 companies surveyed by the firm, [...]
Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of Intel, published a famous observation in a 1964. He basically said, “It seems like the number of transistors we can put on a processor doubles about every two years.” Popularly called Moore’s Law, this observation has been generalized to say that computing power in general follows an exponentially increasing trend.

When developing software, the importance of tracking changes and updates cannot be understated. To this end, here at Vidoop we have come up with a creative method of software versioning that is as efficient as it is reflective of our fun and relaxed work environment – Pokemon. Yes, those cute, infectious critters of gaming and [...]
Topics: Whitelisting in an OpenID world, myVidoop…it rhymes with _____.
Well, maybe not the sun, but certainly security, which is, after all, why we’re all here. Here at Vidoop we try to put personal security in the hands of the user, particularly when it comes to passwords, which can be stored either locally on your own computer or remotely with myVidoop. This choice offers a [...]
OpenID may be the internet’s best kept secret, surprising given the decentralized single login system’s promises of greater security and convenience, two of the most powerful forces driving the growth of our virtual economy. Still, even with an increased rate of adoption of OpenID by more large and influential organizations than ever before, the bulk [...]
First, let’s define corporate grade authentication. This type of authentication typically employs devices such as hardware tokens (key fobs), smart cards, encrypted USB devices, or some type of out of band authentication (think SMS code to your mobile phone), used to layer onto the typical username and password. This type of authentication is [...]
Wait a sec, who’s this guy? As Vidoop’s newly tapped blogger and technical writer, I suppose it’s probably prudent to begin with an introduction, if for no other reason than to give you an idea of who I am and where to toss rocks should the need arise. Just make sure they are labeled correctly. [...]
Yesterday was a crazy day of hacking, kernel recompiling , tag-team editing, logo screen-shotting, Pownce homaging and lightning-fast CBCC™. A huge shout out to Scott Kveton and Dave Recordon for making the trip all the way down to the Silicon Prairie to participate in the all-day hack-a-thon with us.
Things we all learned:
