Tcho Tcho's Digital Mobile Wallets Are Boosting Haiti's Economy. With its banking and financial infrastructure still in tatters, a new mobile service that allows Haitians to make and receive payments via text message is taking off and allowing commerce to flourish.
Last year, Haiti suffered a catastrophic earthquake that caused widespread devastation--a tragedy that puts yesterday's quake, which sent shockwaves of worry up and down the East Coast despite little damage, into stark perspective. The impoverished country is still recovering--but slowly, as several reports have indicated.
But there are glimmers of hope in Haiti's rise from the rubble: Technology is playing a prominent role in the country's recovery, especially in rebuilding Haiti's ravaged economy and financial infrastructure--more than a third of Haiti's banks were destroyed in the earthquake, leaving millions without access to money. (Though, even before the quake, fewer than 10% of Haitians had ever used a traditional bank.) But that's changing, thanks to mobile wallet technology. READ MORE...

Marketing stunts with grunt. As any marketing wizard will attest you can easily run your own publicity drive for free.

For inspiration on building your brand without busting the budget, consider some stunts spotted by observers in the know. The efforts in this article suggest that money matters less than imagination. Lateral thinking carries the day. READ MORE...

According to PayPal, the physical wallet will die by the year 2015. Visa, ISIS, Google, serve by American Express: all are billions of dollars deep in investing in the mobile payment market; all encourage digital mobile payments; all believe the mobile payment market is the future.

Napster Documentary Film/Movie In The Works. Many Americans who are just reaching their teenage years will not remember Napster. To the best of their knowledge, Apple has dominated the realm of online music services since the dawn of the Internet. However, Napster’s influence is still remembered and will be dramatized in a planned documentary of the peer-to-peer file sharing company. The film will recount the rise and “fall” of Napster, which was launched by Shawn Fanning and his uncle John Fanning in 1999 (contrary to The Social Network, sources are inconsistent as to whether Sean Parker was a co-founder or early employee of the company). Alex Winter is signed as director. READ MORE...

Yes, those big plastic balls! READ MORE...
