Which in turn, I'm sure wasn't inspired by this post here (June):

Or maybe it came from one of the 1.2 million pages that has the phrase "twitter and payment" somewhere in it but no mention of twitpay:

Or inspired by TextPayMe, which did the exact same thing with phone numbers instead of twitter usernames?
