I Am Jonathan's Starbucks Card: A Social Payment Experiment (With Free Coffee)
Jonathan's Starbucks card lives in Jonathan Stark's wallet. You can download a copy of the card (shown here) and, when there is money on it, scan it at any Starbucks to buy coffee and, as far as anyone can tell, Jonathan doesn't care. Crazy, you say? Sure, it's crazy... like a fox.Jonathan Stark is a programmer and writer and has been experimenting with "social sharing of physical goods using digital currency on mobile phones." Similar to the old Italian tradition of Caffe Pagato, Jonathan wants you to use the cash on his card to buy your own coffee. He also wants you to tweet about your experience and, if you're really cool, put a little money on the card.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/q1VkZwKuF1I/
