The Money Is In the Text Message Mail

textpayme.png

This is a pretty cool product/company launch where users can pay each other via Text messaging in amounts up to $500. The service was developed in response to Craig's list purchases where buyers often don't approve a purchase until they are on the seller's premises. If they like the bike or coach, Paypal is often not convenient, but a cell-phone and TextPayMe is. All a user has to do is enter the dollar amount and the seller's cell phone number.

The company was founded by some Microsoft alums in Redmond and is bootstrapped to date.
