eBay Launches PayPal X Platform [Live Video]

Source: Mashable!

Nov 03, 2009

Summary

Several months ago, eBay subsidiary PayPal revealed the next evolution of its payment platform. Called PayPal X, the platform promised to open up new APIs (application programming interfaces) to developers, allowing them to create their own customized payment systems based on the PayPal. Only a few select partners had access to the APIs at the time, though.

However, that was back in July. Here at the PayPal Innovate Conference in San Francisco, PayPal is opening up its platform to thousands of developers. On stage are a slew of PayPal and eBay execs, including PayPal President Scott Thompson and eBay CEO John Donahoe.

The entire keynote is being streamed live via Ustream. There should be some interesting announcements, so we invite you to watch the live video with us. The embed is below:
