But in regards to "groundbreaking factor" the product is a first of it's kind. It will either be hugely successful or end in suicide and rage - but nevertheless, it is a technological advancement! .-= Elijah´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/theathomecoupleblog/~3/C7DKf96Zby8/" rel="nofollow">Square: The Payment Game Is About To Change For Offline Businesses</a> =-. @Anand – Absolutely scary, indeed.

Anyway, on the story, I am kind of skeptical. While it does seem well-intentioned, there is a far higher probability of frauds than current modes of ecommerce. Right now, if you are on an eBay and want to check if you are not being phished somewhere, you can check the address bar to confirm its eBay. You are on YOUR computer, which means I can install all spywares and anti-viruses in order to be safe. In this new set-up, it's the vendor's mobile phone. The guy can make a software that looks and works just like SquareUp, but store your credit card details in the backend without a hint...You won't even know.. It's scary.. .-= Anand Srinivasan´s last blog ..<a href="http://blog.knewthis.com/knewthis-explained/" rel="nofollow">KnewThis Explained</a> =-. Hey Elijah

I read that as the end user making payments via cell phone, but it's the business being able to swipe! That is incredibly awesome. I'm thinking of all the crafters who sell at craft fairs and vendors at the renaissance faire (half their shops don't even have electricity to run a card swipe). Very, very cool thing. .-= WordVixen´s last blog ..<a href="http://wordvixen.com/2009/12/02/helping-out-a-few-friends/" rel="nofollow">Helping Out A Few Friends</a> =-. Oh snap!
