MoMIT event: PayPal Mobile comes to MIT

Matt Weathers, PayPal Mobile's Group Product Manager, visited MIT Sloan today to discuss mobile paypments using PayPal, and PayPal's mobile launch strategy. It was interesting to hear about the questions that they tackled, including customer base, client UI (IVR -- interactive voice response, WAP, client, SMS) and geographies.

PayPal mobile allows users to send money to each other, buy products on the go, and even donate money to charity.

One of the more interesting angles was the ability to donate by text to Amnesty International, U.S. Fund for UNICEF, and Starlight Starbright.
