Is going to be Snapchat the new Paypal? Snapchat, known for sending photos that immediately disappear after being viewed, has teamed with payment processing square to help users send money to one another. The system is remarkably simple: start a message, use a dollar sign and give the amount. In the three years since launching, Snapchat has become synonymous with a new breed of social-networking services that focus on simple communication of either a photo or video. The company has said users send 700 million photos and videos a day. Mobile payments are already skyrocketing, due in part to the popularity of smartphones and new services like Apple play and Google Wallet. While it's unclear how big the peer-to-peer money transfer industry actually is, Square said in August its users had sent "hundreds of millions of dollars" to one another. Last month PayPal reported customers used Venmo to send $700 million in payments in the third quarter -- a 50 percent increase from its previous quarter.LR 4ºA

Valentine's Day at Tirso

Image
This year our 4th graders, who are participating in a week long trip to Lisbon, got creative with fundraising ideas! With the help of the Language Assistants and a group of teachers, these 4th graders sold carnations for students to send to others in the school. Carnations were on sale for a week before Valentine's Day, and students, teachers, and staff were able to purchase one flower for one euro to be sent to the person of their choosing. The day of Valentine's Day arrived, and the team was busy attaching hand written notes to each flower, categorizing them, and delivering them to their lucky recepients. All in all, the fundraiser was a great success, and the school was filled with love to celebrate Valentine's Day!
