There wasn’t much time that sunny Wednesday afternoon as Viddy co-founder Brett O’Brien took a few minutes out of his extremely busy day to discuss Viddy with me. We talked about their plans, where Viddy has been and who is using Viddy and where they would like to see Viddy in the future. This is what Brett had to say:

Q: Where did the idea of Viddy come from?

I went on to ask him what the plans on for Viddy and he told me that they are currently getting ready to launch an open ATI, which will allow other platforms and applications access to Viddy and Viddy users. They are also currently working on and app for Android. Everybody using Viddy and Viddy becoming a household name would be what the creators of Viddy would like to see happen to it. Right now they are watching it grow daily and enjoying the way it is bringing people across the world together. You can see video that Justin Bieber has shot using Viddy at by clicking on the name Justin.
