PayPal Mobile,... the end of cash?
PayPal Mobile sounds terrific but annoyingly is not available, upon introduction, here in Ireland. "Barman,... can I've another round of drinks..... and can you put that on my mobile please".

Tomasz, who works with me here says that mobile payments are common practice in Poland. You can pay for everything with your mobile, from parking the car to setting up some hosting and a domain.

Wow, are they that far ahead of us Alan? What platform are the using? Or is it different for each service?

The end of cash in Web 2.0? The U.K. company Zopa is proving that. They've applied social software to the banking industry... Check it out here: http://jroller.com/page/Solomon?entry=zopa_social_banking
I honestly think that Zopa has the same potential as Paypal.com or X.com did. (X.com was Elon Musk's first attempt at Web Finance before he bought Paypal)
Also, loved your use of Grazr so much, that I copied your technique... see http://jroller.com/page/Solomon?entry=practical_applications_of_rss_opml
Thanks for your work on these subject.... Keep it coming.

Thanks Solomon, great to see the Grazing meme spreading. Nice use of it on your own blog and I'm flattered to be included in the OPML. Great blog by the way!
Thanks Alan, it would be interesting to know.

I'm hoping to spread Grazing a bit more with my employers. Corporate BlogRolls and RSS feeds of corporate job listings (JobRoll?) soon to come.
I initially added Grazing so that I can make my blog reading life easier. Your list is pretty helpful in that regard.
BTW, I have a couple of favors to ask of you:
1) Can you add your BlogBridge Reading List to your opmlworkstation feed?
2) Can you add Josh Porter's Comment Preview functionality to your site?

(1) Is a good idea Solomen - it would mean I could get rid of the secondary Reading List in the sidebar and just use the Grazr widget for that instead. Nice suggestion, thanks.
(2) Sorry but I don't know how Josh implemented that. Does he use TypePad?

1) You might want to keep your secondary "reading list" entry...
It has a different "Use Case..." Meaning it would be a lot more usable/understandable for most of your readers to use an HTML sidebar rather than the Grazr widget. I wonder what UI folks like Josh think about that...
2) I think It's just JavaScript ;) I have to try it out on my blog first...
