(Via Hatena) Yahoo! Japan announced it will make its online payment and transaction service, Yahoo! Wallet, publicly available.
Initially the Yahoo! Wallet service will be available only to Yahoo! Shopping merchants, but the service will eventually become available to everyone.
As more and more users become "prosumers" and will engage in P2P commerce by selling stuff on their sites (blogs etc), services like Yahoo! Wallet will come in handy.
