  Albert Wenger, a partner at venture capital firm Union Square Ventures, an investor in Twitter, said on his blog that the break-in demonstrates the inadequacy of usernames and passwords as a means of authentication. He urged online services like Google and Microsoft to adopt a two-factor authentication scheme, possibly involving SMS messages or a dedicated mobile authentication app.

  DailyLit creators Susan Danziger and Albert Wenger said the service is designed largely for harried techies who can't break away from the tube long enough to read the books they studiously avoided in high school.
  ...
  Co-founders Danziger and Wenger said they dreamed up DailyLit after getting hooked on serialized classics that were published as inserts in The New York Times a few years ago.
  ...
  Wenger was president of the social-bookmarking startup del.icio.us/, which Yahoo purchased in 2005.
  
  With three young kids and no time for library runs, the New York couple were grasping for a way to keep up with their own reading.E-mail seemed a good fit for their 21st-century lifestyle.
  
  "We were talking about the fact that the only thing we do on a more regular basis than read the newspaper is read e-mail," Wenger said.
  ...
  Danziger and Wenger said they're working on upgrades that would allow that kind of customization.

  Was reading the latest post from Albert Wenger, a partner over at Union Square Ventures. His post was about companies that started as consumer sites and who now want to switch to a white or private label service and the potential difficulties in making the transition. His primary reason seems to be that once a company is built as a consumer facing entity, it doesn't have the DNA to switch to a company that has to deal with the whims of white label clients.
