Metrics Showdown: Mixpanel v. KISSmetrics v. Google Analytics « art/van/kilmer NOTE: This post describes Mixpanel, KISSmetrics, and Google Analytics as I used them in Spring and Summer 2010.

M-Pesa M-Pesa (M for mobile, pesa is Swahili for money) is a mobile-phone based money transfer and microfinancing service for Safaricom and Vodacom, the largest mobile network operators in Kenya and Tanzania.[1] Currently the most developed mobile payment system in the world, M-Pesa allows users with a national ID card or passport to deposit, withdraw, and transfer money easily with a mobile device.[2] History[edit] The initial work of developing the product was given to a product and technology development company[9] known as Sagentia. Concept[edit] The initial concept of M-Pesa was to create a service which allowed microfinance borrowers to conveniently receive and repay loans using the network of Safaricom airtime resellers.[10] This would enable microfinance institutions (MFIs) to offer more competitive loan rates to their users, as costs are lower than when dealing in cash. M-Pesa is also criticized for stopping the government from getting seigniorage revenues.[13] Services[edit] Kenya[edit]
