Finally, actual information about what’s going down at Twitter.<p>> And so that’s definitely a direction we’re going to go in, enabling people on Twitter to be able to send money anywhere in the world instantly and in real time.<p>This sounds like a great idea to me. UPI(1) has worked wonders in India, and is providing a pretty similar service.<p>> Then you attach a debit card to the Twitter account so that you have backward compatibility into the payments system because not everyone will accept Twitter.<p>That makes sense, and if the UX will be similar to that of Apple Pay/Google Pay, I imagine it would actually be able to acquire new users (and not just people ready to jump into a “whole new way of paying”)<p>> Basically, if you can show up in an office and you do not show up at the office, resignation accepted. End of story.<p>I hate this for obvious reasons.<p>It will be interesting to follow Twitter for the next year. The whole “Twitter as a Tik-Tok-like platform” idea _could_ work, if the main focus is to compete with YouTube’s creator platform. It’s a much more feasible idea than the payments one (at Twitter’s current state).<p>(1) “'India’s success in creating a unique digital payments ecosystem is simply stunning': Anand Mahindra says on UPI success in India”:
