Yahoo Sets Up Shop In Times Square For Its 500 New York Employees (But Not The Tumblr Team)
Today has been quite a roller coaster ride for Yahoo -- the company put days of reports and rumors to rest this morning when it confirmed that it would acquire the social blogging platform Tumblr for $1.1 billion, and now CEO Marissa Mayer has confirmed that Yahoo's New York employees will now be moving. They'll all soon be working right around the corner from Times Square in the same building that used to house the New York Times (229 West 43rd Street, to be more specific).

Square Cash Will Let You Send Money To Your Friends By Email
Square’s not just for businesses apparently, as an invite-only page for a product called “Square Cash” has popped up. Not many details are known about it, but we’ve reached out to the company for comment. The splash page shows an email to a friend with a $25 payment, with a Square email address in the CC line: This is similar to other personal payment solutions, like Venmo and PayPal. You can sign up for an invite right now, and that’s it. The page promises that you can send money to someone’s debit card: The company just announced a new, pretty cash register for businesses, but the company clearly wants to be in all of our pockets…and bank accounts. While it’s hard to decrypt CEO Jack Dorsey’s tweets and Vines, Square Cash might have been the reason for this recent little celebration: This is developing.
