Yahoo News - PayPal Offers Text Message Payment
AP reports, "Customers of the PayPal online payment service can now use their cell phones to instantly send money, buy items or donate to charities [...] Every customer is assigned an identification number needed for each order."

The usual disclaimer applies, this is not the mark of the beast, don't be afraid of PayPal, we are just watching the trends. I feel like I need to say this, you would be would amazed at some of the e-mails I get on this subject from people afraid of commerce tech. I don't want to inspire fear, just watchfulness.
