SafePage: Another one for the deadpool

Don Park and I used to work together so I was disappointed to learn that his startup, SafePage, has been deadpooled. Don and I worked together during the early days of the anti-phishing efforts. At the time we were putting together an anti-phishing toolbar and he was incorporating leading edge ideas like changing the address bar color when you were at an authenticated site and integrating identicons. Although our toolbar didn't make it in the end, I appreciated his efforts to build those ideas into a working prototype and it's good to see those same ideas implemented in tools people use everyday including Firefox and WordPress.com. Best of luck to those from SafePage and don't forget to check out Don's page if you know of good opportunities.
