Surfing around Twitterland can be quite educational – not to mention the fact that you’re getting real time info from some of the webs most influential movers and shakers. Keeping this in mind, I stumbled accross a tweet from Kevin Rose, who was replying to Jim (creator of Twitter) about a website called SquareUp.com.
As an entrepreneur, one of the biggest challenges faced is implementing a transparent, efficient and accurate payment gateway. In the world of offline business – where physical products and interaction are the name of the game – this becomes even more crucial. Enter Square: A new technology which allows business owners to accept card-based payments directly from a mobile device – so long as it has an audio jack.
I can’t even begin to describe the feeling running through my veins right now. Not that I would ever have any use for their products and services, as 100% of my business is virtual and online, but that’s besides the point.
I am a junkie for innovation, creativity and overall awesomeness – and I am officially (with zero credibility) claiming Square to be the most groundbreaking start up for 2010.
I have a really good feeling about these guys!
Please head over to Square and see for yourself.
Cheers,
Elijah
