So I’m assuming this official PayPal video is meant to excite developers about the future of PayPal after PayPal announced that it’s opening its platform to third party developers. Despite it feeling like the spoof Veridian ads off the television series Better Off Ted (I hope that’s what they were going for but I’m not 100% sure), I like the idea behind it.
The thought that PayPal are interested in using feedback from developers and users reminds of Dell’s IdeaStorm, a site where you can post and vote on ideas to improve Dell products and services. Last I heard over 800 ideas have been implemented.
It will be interesting to see how PayPal uses input from developers to develop PayPal to work in new ways. Who will decide on which ideas are the best and how many of them will be implimented? We’ll have to wait and see, especially as it doesn’t officially open up to developers until 3 November, 2009. In the meantime, if you have an idea you can submit it via Twitter with the hashtag #changehowwepay and view responses at www.changehowwepay.com.
