PayPal.Me - Request money using your own personalized URL.

Absolutely incredible. FB should've done this for paying friends

Always happy to snag my first name. http://paypal.me/juan

PayPal owns Venmo (via their BrainTree acquisition). I'm curious if it will merge with paypal.me or get shuttered in the future.

It's finally live.

Really nice UI throughout the system. Looks really slick on a mobile as well - this should really take off!

This is why investments in the tech space are out of control. If you don't have anything that is proprietary about your product or service, the big guys will invariably rip it off. Loving this though!

Registered mine but obviously would have loved to have the same username as Twitter or FB. They should have devised the PH strategy.

I first thought that it was odd that PayPal would launch a sort of competitor to their own Venmo, but on second though it actually makes sense - I'm guessing the Venmo userbase vs PayPal userbase is very different (PayPal skewing older than Venmo...) and this serves as a net-positive user acquisition strategy (since it requires both sides to have PayPal accounts!)

It is my understanding that square accepts payments from debit cards only, while this product appears to accept credit cards as well (through paypal).
