President’s Day is this Monday, as you probably know. Maybe you have the day off of work to commemorate the holiday.  What has tech-savvy President Obama been up to lately besides hosting a very well received Google+ Hangout?  He’s also been using the popular Square device for his campaign, allowing for mobile payments for fundraising, representing yet another way he has used new technology in his campaigns.  Check out this video from the Mashable team:

Are you a small business that receives payment on-site?  If so, you may want to consider giving your mobile sales team Square card readers.  Square allows businesses to accept credit card payments via customers’ iPads, Androids or iPhones.  Also, Square is cost-effective -- it only charges 2.75% per swipe.  And even better, the app and the card reader are free.

Have you used Square or had your card swiped through a Square reader?
