New Twitter Commerce to Boost 2012 Election Donations

Dozens of U.S. House and Senate candidates have already signed on to receive donations from Chirpify, a new commerce platform that combines Twitter and PayPal.

Chirpify CEO Chris Teso has been developing this platform for 18 months, letting Twitter users buy products or donate to individuals or businesses through PayPal by simply tweeting conversational commands such as “buy”, “sell” or “donate”. (e.g., “@PYMNTS buy” “” it’s really that simple!). Still a bit confused?
