DropCash Launched

The newly-launched (and in public beta) DropCash service, created by Andre Torrez and Jason Kottke, provides a simple and powerful tool for powering fundraises and the like.

It's also a great example of building a service upon existing APIs and services--DropCash uses our TypeKey service for sign-in, and the PayPal API for payments. By building on existing technologies, DropCash can focus on providing a clean, simple UI and feature set (which it does).

If you're interested in building applications on top of TypeKey, you might be interested in Authen::TypeKey, which abstracts all of the TypeKey verification for you (assuming, of course, that you're using Perl).
