Re: [projectvrm] Dashlane scores $22 million investment

Dashlane has potential. And while it would involve quite a few additional agreements for the needed feature I envision (which would almost certainly be resisted)... it could form the root for a monied "like" button.

And ensure deep market penetration for the provider... (with some qualifications)

That's because I believe that such a capability has elements of a natural monopoly...and there's a broad public interest in its development and ownership. And I'll do what little I can to ensure that public participation.... while respecting the legitimate need for return on investment by the VC community.

The inevitability of the one-click micropayment (outside of a closed ecosystem like x-box) has been obvious for quite a while. But very little attention has been given to its implications. They are huge. And as far as the speech-related micropayment especially goes... I'm going to put in my 2 cents come hell or high water.

It's a VRM play.
