that’s precisely why I think SKYPE should get into this market. 5 years ago, micropayment in Europe for porn-sites was handled by calling surcharged phone numbers. it’d provide a password for access sites. very simple.

SKYPE could implement something like that very easily and partner with apps.

That doesn’t seem to be true in gaming. I think one part you’re missing is secondary markets for in game items. That makes things you buy in games have real value, even if you can only officially sell them for a virtual currency in game.

“250 people spent more than $1,000 apiece on digital goods through Spare Change.” – i want to know who these people are and what are they buying? so weird.

This is interesting to know. Still confused though – actual revenue, not just virtual – ie if everyone cashed out at the same time would they go under?

Like taking your kids to Jillians or Dave & Busters…spending 20 dollars for 8000 credits…video games costing between 200 to 1000 credits per play.

After a while, you have no idea how much your paying for anything when funny currency is used.
