Who knows what motivates a person, but strictly from an opportunity perspective, Twitter is a more certain outcome than Square. If NFC on the phone takes off, then Square technology may soon become antiquated.
This move certainly doesn't bode well for Square, though.
- dotBen 16y agoNot wanting to go off-topic but we're a long way away from NFC taking off in any time you could reasonably describe as "soon". It's available on one semi-beta phone and that's it.
