Signs Point to Facebook Payment Platform Launch

Existence of an SSL version of a website means they're launching a payment platform? That's not the first thing I'd assume. I'd assume they just don't want accounts being compromised when people log into facebook at an Internet cafe' or whatever.

I guess that's why I'm not an A-list blogger, though. Too much thinking, not enough jumping to conclusions.

I just saw Paypal for the iPhone in the App Store, interesting concept if you ask me...

PayPal started thinking they would be the facilitators of mobile electronic cash beamed from one PalmPilot to another over IR. Ten years, three business models, and an acquisition later, it looks like they possibly have a viable mobile platform.
