PayPal released its Blackberry app for sending money to friends, family or anyone with a PayPal account. Blackberry users can send money to anyone in their contact list and 23 currencies are supported. You can check it out in Blackberry App World.
This makes me wonder who will be the first to accept donations by QR Code. Simply point and shoot your phone and, voila, money sent. So, making this more absurd… what about official QR Codes for panhandlers? You could simply point and click quarters to them for the cups of coffee they’re seeking. It would actually bring about Panhandling 2.0 because the QR Codes could be posted all over town… in the subways, on light posts and street signs. It would take the pain out of winter panhandling because the code could be posted outside on the cold street while the recipient dines in a warm environment.
Also, I hear there’s a Tiger Woods version in the works. You simply browse his contacts and send millions to the people who have served him drinks in seedy locations.
