Noah - Have any specific projects going on?

Al - I'm liking the cheerleader mentality. Keep it up and tell someone outside of Philly how great Philly is.

Blake - Your work on this is great. IP is doing our part to mobilize and organize Philly. Communities need both discussion and action. Great work.

Louise - The tax structure is a consistent topic not only for entrepreneurs, but businesses of all sizes. I know the local Chamber of Commerce is diligent in discussion s to rework the tax structure. More info at www.greaterphilachamber.com/PublicPolicy.aspx. It takes business owners like you to change a city for the better and create a business environment that cultivates small, medium, and large growing businesses.

For everyone - Send us what you wrote to Fast Company. Would love to post and idea share.

With Philadelphia's current business tax structure, how can anybody choose this city to start a business? I moved my business from the city years ago to be able to afford to continue. There may be lots of great organizations and people but that doesn't change how much you have to pay in taxes. Maybe the big companies get a break but for small, entrepreneurial companies there's nothing beneficial.

Philadelphia has sooo much potential! Great public transportation, very supportive entrepreneur community, extremely diverse city, not too expensive.

I couldn't agree with you more regarding the barriers to adoption of mobile payments. XIPWIRE, taking into account some of the barriers you mentioned above has developed a secure yet simple way of making payments using your cell phone all with a simple text message.

XIPWIRE's approach to security utilizes a a multi-layered approach to guard against unauthorized access and potential fraudulent activity. The first line of defense is at the server and network level where XIPWIRE applies sophisticated software with industrial strength encryption and a series of firewalls to protect the integrity and privacy of the transmitted data. All private data such as passwords, PINs, and account numbers are stored in an encrypted manner.

In the second layer of protection, every transaction that occurs via the XIPWIRE platform whether it is on the cell phone or over the internet generates a text message asking for the user's PIN; alerting the user that a transaction has occurred. If the user did not initiate the transaction, the user has the option to reply with "No" which cancels that transaction. This guarantees that any fraudulent transaction that is attempted cannot be processed without the user's approval.

Finally, to maximize reliability, XIPWIRE does not use a personal cell phone number but instead uses a commercial short code (56624) that has been approved by all of the major cell phone carriers. Not only does this ensure that all text messages from XIPWIRE are legitimate but also that the fidelity and speed of the transactions are optimized. In addition, each text message from XIPWIRE to your mobile phone ends with a unique ID which can be used to to verify the authenticity of the text message received.

Mobile payments using cell phones have now become a reality. Given the importance of security in this space, XIPWIRE's secure platform has the necessary components in place which provide the mobile user confidence to use this convenient and cutting edge technology as part of everyday life.
