I  spent a very pleasant long weekend Monday sitting on my deck, enjoying the cool breeze and talking on the phone with Travis Robertson. Travis interviews PayPal X developers who, in the opinion of the PayPal development team, are doing “cool stuff” with their APIs.

We rambled on for quite a while talking about our new release of FundRazr and how it changes the way social media fundraising is done. We didn’t stick to just that topic though and covered lots of other interesting territory.

Check it out at https://www.x.com/docs/DOC-2432.

We are very fortunate – on Monday, Knowlton Thomas of TechVibes.com made an excellent post about FundRazr and our relationship with PayPal and Facebook. We are very appreciative of the support Knowlton and Rob Lews have provided us and appreciate their interest in what we do.

For those we didn’t notice, there were links in Knowlton’s article to the pages on PayPal.com that highlight what we do. Check them out here.
