Hey Paul,

Do you think this "product" can breathe life into the ideas of companies like CyberCash?

And what about E-Wallet (isn't that what MSFT was trying to make happen?), would this be a better use of that type of thinking only that NOVL has the plumbing to make it possible and realistic?
[not trying to bash MSFT here at all, just wondering]

I mean you are correct in your assessment that this Digital Me is something for other companies to utilize in their transaction based services. I wonder if any of the auction sites (OnSale, eBay, etc) would be interested in a demo!

That would be the first place I would take this Digital Me if I was working at NOVL. Heck, come Monday morning, I think I'll make a call :)

As an avid internet user and online shopper (is it safe, heck, if I can trust the college student waiter with my credit card at the local restuarant....) this could be a break through. I wouldn't mind having my information stored either by the merchant or even a 3rd party to make transactions easier and safe.

Heck, Amazon.com already uses something like this on it's website (they call it OneClick shopping). You have to enable it but it sure makes things easy.
