In the end its all about compromise, the alarm on my house adds a level of complication I wouldn't have otherwise, but I want it there because it helps protect all my action figures. While you may not have anything incredibly important stored online now, you very likely will. As you are asked to store more important information online (health records, etc.) don't you want something stronger than a login and password to protect it all? OpenID is the starting point, but most OpenID providers still just let you have a password. Kudos to AOL for offering multiple options that people can use for free to help truly secure their data online, such as the Vidoop ImageShield. As noted earlier we are always eager to hear feedback on how our service can be improved.

That's it. Vidoop should assume that they will get very few users from AOL - 10k if they're lucky. Notice that they're listed as one of many optional additions to your AOL account. AOL has no real commitment to push them. I've seen the numbers from these types of deals with AOL and the company that partnered with AOL is ALWAYS disappointed.
