I really want to see TwitPay do well. My concern for TwitPay is the same concern I have with Twitter... Security. I have not tried the service yet but intend to do so soon. The possibilities are endless. You gotta love this concept. I really want to see TwitPay do well. My concern for TwitPay is the same concern I have with Twitter… Security.

Based on its current business model, I don't think it can survive long enough. I do hope it can improve the feature to support the transaction for commercial products.

Tipping is fine, or settling a bar tab from a bloggers meetup the night before (just $50?), but for other things, not so sure — I'll stick to standard invoices and the like.

We'll be adding more features for merchants who want to sell things on Twitter soon. Remember, Twitpay doesn't touch your money, so if you'd use Amazon Payments to sell things, you're just as safe with Twitpay...with the added bonus that every sale is also a little plug for your product. @Kathy: no, this isn't the first step to charging for using Twitter. A: We're not Twitter. B: Twitter has said repeatedly that they're not going to charge users to use it. Twitter's going to be fine, and we think people will enjoy having a visible and social means of sending money over it. We enjoy using it, anyway! Thanks for the writeup.

So that leaves "tipping" people for their Tweet activity as the sole useful purpose of Twitpay. Which brings up the point - what IS the point of Twitpay? Is there a nefarious purpose behind the development of this app? Is it possible that this is the first step to CHARGING for using Twitter! Oh my! I shudder to think of the consequences of this!!! (I suspect we'll see how quickly a "hot app" can die if Twitter is anything but "free".) I’m with you – there’s no WAY I’d “trust” Twitpay enough to use it to invoice a client or pay for goods.

Is it possible that this is the first step to CHARGING for using Twitter!

Oh my!

I shudder to think of the consequences of this!!! (I suspect we’ll see how quickly a “hot app” can die if Twitter is anything but “free”.)
