One of the biggest applications that are used for businesses, especially pop-up vendors, is Venmo.
According to Venmo (the company), “Venmo allows you to pay and request money from your friends. At its core,
Venmo provides a social way to pay your friends when you owe them money and don't want to deal with cash,”
(Venmo, n.d). Venmo is a digital wallet that can be connected to your bank account or to a credit/debit card.
Venmo was bought by Paypal in 2013 and is widely used throughout the US. The WEPA printer located in a variety
of areas in Towson University accept Venmo as a form of payment.
Skype for Business
Another application that is used in the business world is Skype. Skype has 3 settings when creating an
account and downloading the application, Skype, Skype Meetings, and Skype for Business. According to
Microsoft, “Skype for Business lets you add up to 250 people to online meetings, provides enterprise-grade
security, allows you to manage employee accounts, and is integrated into your Office apps. It costs $2 per
month, per user,” (Microsoft, n.d.). These perks are much like the functions Google Drive gives you, but these
give you stronger, more well-rounded Microsoft programs, better security, and it allows you to host bigger
meetings. Being able to attend a meeting while on your smartphone and not in-front of a computer makes meeting
times flexible.
