Will Twitpay Buzz?

Twitter might be gaining popularity. The social networking site has a new marketing tool, it will soon be offering a way to transfer money over the web, with a service called Twitpay. This service will allow Twitter users to send small payments to other Twitter user’s Twitpay account. What is interesting about this new system to send money via the web, is that in order to replenish your account; you will have to use a site like Paypal. The idea behind Twitpay is enable people to be social givers. Get this, “Along with many of the third-party applications that make use of Twitter’s platform, Twitpay has no official ties to Twitter”. Hmmmm… I don’t get that part of it. Twitpay seems to even be partially named after Twitter but, there are no official ties to one another?

 

The good part about it, Twitpay is still in it’s trial phase, the reason I say this is a good thing is because it is important when developing websites or rolling out new applications, to have a test period. The test period allows you to make suer that everything is functioning as it should and to make sure that everything behind the scenes are working properly and it allows you to remove all “bugs” before actual implentation is set forth.
