It's Hip to Be Square: @Jack Talks Mobile Payments on NBC San Diego
Jack Dorsey was kind of enough to do a live iChat interview with me this morning to talk all things Square. While there wasn't enough time to answer all the outstanding questions out there (like privacy concerns), we did touch on the biggies like price point, use cases, and how it actually works. Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on one of those squares. Cash-only could be a thing of the past. I could easily see this being used at garage sales, as a way of processing event ticket sales, or buying items from street vendors.
A pop track for the track
This song has recently made my running playlist. While at first I hated it, now I find it completely addictive.
