New About
The JanRain team is comprised of 12 Internet ninjas who have built the next generation of web based communication and reputation services. The first service is the comprehensive communications and reputation platform, PIBB, which leverages OpenID’s decentralized and user-centric identity.
JanRain has been working on the development of the OpenID protocol for over 2 years. Over this time we have become a recognized leader in the OpenID marketplace, the predominate supplier of the tools and utilities driving the OpenID ecosystem, and through MyOpenID.com, a leading provider of OpenID accounts.
Our mission is to provide you and your organization services that allow you to communicate and transact with other people in a secure and trusted OpenID ecosystem.
