It’s not a huge leap to call us OpenID evangelists. Honestly we wear that badge proudly, mostly because not only are we extremely proud of what we’re putting together with Vidoop, but also because we really do see ourselves on the forefront of an important shift in how people work and play on the [...]

In our second podcast George, Luke, and Scott sit down to chew the fat on the ifs, ands, and buts of what it would take, how the interent might look, etc. if everyone had corporate grade authentication…a great prelude to many titillating discussions to come.

It certainly snuck up on us, but the next Internet Identity Workshop (IIW) is right around the corner, next week in fact. Taking place at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA, the semi-annual gathering will include panels and presentations dealing with developing, using, and maintaining user-centric identities on the web — and of [...]

Internet Explorer remains the most widely used web browser on the planet, with TheCounter.com stats tracking website recently reporting that IE is currently used by more than 81% of the world’s internet surfing population. Even so, while Mozilla Firefox users have for some time enjoyed the benefits of added security and convenience by using the [...]

We live in the so-called information age, and true to its name we’re constantly pummeled with data vying for our attention, so when something as genuinely new and exciting as Vidoop comes along, we expect people to cast us sideways glances while asking what it is exactly that makes us special.

Nestled among the many changes to myVidoop introduced last week was a new feature called Add Anywhere, which adds a stopgap solution for anyone who is not using a supported browser or any person who cannot install the plugin. We think this is particularly exciting because it lets us make it easier for people who [...]

This evening we released updates to the myVidoop website as well as a new version of the browser plugin, adding additional security and convenience to the myVidoop experience. The new myVidoop presence can be seen immediately once you log into the site, while the plugin update is available through all of our normal release channels, [...]

Last week, I began describing my philosophy as it relates to login systems, a philosophy I call Sustainable Authentication (capital letters because it’s a Philosophy.) I stated the first pillar of this philosophy: Authentication should remain relevant and viable in spite of advances in computing power.
I’d like to continue along the same lines today.
In the [...]

A couple of us from Vidoop took a trip to sunny Mountain View, CA to be a part of the ShesGeeky (un)conference experience. The venue provided a great opportunity for women from various disciplines and backgrounds to get together in a fun and collaborative setting. The event boasted sponsorship from big players like Google, Microsoft, [...]

I spend a lot of my time thinking about Vidoop’s role in finding out what the Internet will look like when everyone has corporate grade authentication. From day one we have envisioned our core application working in conjunction with third party strong authentication systems like hardware tokens. We built our own SMS and [...]
