Talk about starting 2012 off with a bang! It can now be confirmed that Scott Thompson, President of PayPal since 2008, will become the CEO of Yahoo. The announcement is a real shocker for many reasons, but mostly because he will be leaving PayPal at just about the point in time that it is likely to really ignite its offline business, with a move about 10 miles North on the 101, to try to revive the company that once dominated the Internet, but seems to have lost its way.

Platforms are all the rage today - the way to massive adoption and surefire wealth. IPO-ready Facebook is looking at a market cap of more than $100 billion just eight years after launching at Harvard College. With developers writing apps like crazy, the Apple and Android smartphones platforms now dominate a mobile phone ecosystem that was controlled by unambitious handset makers and mobile network operators just six years ago. PayPal’s software payments platform is busting into physical payments this year while developers flock to its APIs in order to payment-enable their applications. Ad-platfom Google’s free cash flow of (~10B) is larger than the annual sales of more than half of the Fortune 500 companies.

The holiday season is upon us. I know, wasn’t it just July? That aside, ‘tis the season of parties, gift buying and giving, holiday songs and TV and movie classics that put the meaning of the holiday season in the proper context.

There was a time not that long ago, when B2B payments innovation was perceived by many to be “out of vogue.” Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, B2B payments innovation was synonymous with an exuberant group of innovative B2B payment exchanges, marketplaces and hubs that failed spectacularly. Moreover, even the secular trends in payments over the last decade have made little impact in the dominance of paper-based payments, which still account for more than 80% of all payment transactions and over 70% of total payments volume in the B2B space. It is perhaps understandable that many entrepreneurs and innovators looked elsewhere for innovation opportunities during the last decade. In fact, with the exception of Remote Deposit Capture solutions, very little B2B payments innovation gained traction in the 2000s.

Last week eBay and PayPal made news at its X.commerce Innovate Developer Conference in San Jose. It was a few days of back-to-back press releases, commentary and cyberbuzz as everyone tried to digest the announcements that came fast and furiously. Here is the rundown of the big stuff and a few of my own comments along the way.
