Paypal Meets Skype
I’ve long been a fan of the idea that you should be able to conduct a transaction, and exchange money, while in a conversation. Howard and I discussed this extensively in late 2003 as part of the process we went through building the iotum business plan. Eventually we abandoned the idea, concluding that Paypal was better positioned to do it than we were. Well, 2.5 years later, the latest iteration of the Skype / Paypal roadmap has this very idea! Check out Bill Campbell’s post on Skype Journal for more details.
Cool!
