Online Commerce Opens To Web 2.0 Development
|
|
Nothing matters more to online commerce than closing the sale. Until now, the transaction process has been stifled by insular, non-innovative Web 1.0 development. Now the game is changing. PayPal, a global leader in online payments, is opening its platform, creating the world’s first global payment processing platform for Web 2.0 development and allowing millions of developers to create entirely new businesses and get paid more easily.
PayPal has already been working with select developers who have started to use the PayPal platform for payments. For example, RIM launched its Blackberry App World store in April. It uses PayPal as the underlying payments mechanism for anyone looking to buy a mobile application from its mobile application store. Later this year, PayPal is planning to open the platform – allowing millions of developers to leverage PayPal’s secure global payments network to create entirely new businesses that simply have not been possible previously because there was no easy way to get paid.
PayPal’s VP of Platform and Emerging Technology, Osama Bedier, will share insights on new ways for fast monetization on PayPal’s platform.

For years, the TED Conference was a well-kept secret, known primarily to the 1000 or so people who attended each year. All that changed in 2006, when the talks from the conference first appeared online. (The talks have now been watched more than 140 million times) On TED.com our challenge is to share the magic of a premium real-world conference with an online audience that may or may not ever attend the event.
