Wow, what an amazing 24 hours! I’ve been doing everything from coding to PR to writing for the website to… well, you get the idea. PhoneFactor has caused quite a splash already at Interop, and we’ve been getting some really good press out of it.

One of my favorite quotes is this one, from an Infoworld article:

It’s neat. Instead of having users carry a smart token, Positive’s new PhoneFactor deal waits for an auth request (and not just using Positive’s VPN service; this works with any VPN platform). When it gets the request, it clicks back to a server managed by Positive that matches the user request with a supplied phone number. The phone number gets called and a keyed response is required to make sure you’re on your phone.

The most interesting coverage we got was actually from a Japanese site — interesting because I have no idea what it says! But, there’s a nice picture of Jason Sloderbeck and Chris Austin. Interop Las Vegas.

I’m tracking PhoneFactor publicity on my del.icio.us account here: http://del.icio.us/dispensa/PhoneFactor.

Anyway, I promise I’ll get this blog back to Windows soon, but at the moment, my head is full of PhoneFactor, so the blog is too!

UPDATE: Thanks to Karthik for pointing out my broken link.
