Even people that think they are good are still usually just playing by intuition, like me. I'd love to play. We should set up a network of startup poker games across the country. Poker is the new incubator. Given this fundraising environment, it might be a good financing strategy too.
That was a session at BarCamp Atlanta: Startup funding via poker.

No one from Twitpay is complaining. Ivan gave me a heads-up about this a few days ago. TipJoy is a social platform for tipping people, that now has a Twitter hook. Twitpay is a payments platform built exclusively on Twitter, with some other interesting features in the works. It seems like overlap, but we're in pretty different spaces. I wish the discussion here had focused on TipJoy, and not veered off into this side…
You can define your market however you like, but as long as you fight over the same customers in the same context, you compete with each other. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that.
I'm sure this wasn't 'inspired' by twitpay.me at all, released and announced here 15 days ago ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=369568 )
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so we at Twitpay are taking it as a compliment.

"Stolen", really? It's business, not super friendly fun time. Competition happens.
Tipjoy is all about super friendly fun time. Like at our poker nights. Come by if you're in the Boston area (and a startup hacker/foudner): http://www.meetup.com/Boston-Startup-Poker/
