A new start-up company called Chirpify is taking some innovative strides in the commerce industry. By teaming up with PayPal, Chirpify has introduced a new concept called "T-Commerce". Essentially, the company allows people to buy products from brands simply by tweeting to them. By tweeting "@favoritebrand buy" you can buy a product within seconds. By tweeting "@politician donate" you can donate money to a politician of your choice or "donate" to a friend if you owe them money. Chirpify and PayPal's partnership allows for simple money exchange as well as brand exposure for companies. Chris Teso, the CEO of Chirpify, says the benefit to brands is it becomes "a way to instantly monetize their followers.”
Seems like soon we will just be able to snap our fingers and to get what we want (certain people already can). Or perhaps companies such as these allow for people to spend more and more money and eventually...go broke.
