MySpace, Flock and Vidoop have developed OpenID for Flock, an implementation of the broader Identity in Browser (IDIB) open source project. OpenID for Flock offers the most comprehensive discovery and management capabilities for OpenID currently available. Internet users can now not only store their existing identity credentials within their browser, but also reap the benefits of better discovery when OpenIDs are made available by the sites they are visiting. OpenID for Flock is now available to all Flock 2.0 users as an alpha extension available for download.
With OpenID for Flock, the process of discovering, configuring and using OpenIDs that allow the user to log onto website accounts and manage their identity is streamlined. Once a relationship is established between OpenIDs and the sites that can rely on them for authentication, an easy, seamless experience is created for users that frequently travel to multiple destinations across the Internet.
MySpace, Flock and Vidoop jointly developed OpenID for Flock because the browser is the common application used by everyone to make the connection between both OpenID providers and sites that support login using the OpenID standard. Vidoop was the catalyst behind the original Identity In Browser (IDIB) project. The collaboration started in October 2008 when Vidoop Labs produced a fledgling prototype of IDIB, shared the code with the community, and blogged about the need for online identity to be solved at the browser level. MySpace became involved because of their commitment to OpenID via the company’s Data Availability Platform and Flock contributed their browser expertise based on their commitment to OpenID and furthering usability.

Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and
I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Because the admin of this web site is working, no doubt very shortly it will be renowned, due to its feature contents.

Hi there! I could have sworn I’ve visited this site before but after looking at some of the posts I realized it’s new to
me. Regardless, I’m certainly pleased I stumbled upon it and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking

Asking questions are really good thing if you are not understanding something totally, however this post provides nice understanding
yet.
When someone writes an post he/she keeps the image of a user in
his/her brain that how a user can know it. Thus that’s why this article is perfect.
Thanks!
