How to send money through gmail

Along with a flurry of other announcements
made on Wednesday at Google I/O, Google's
annual developers' conference, the company
announced that it's integrating Google
Wallet with Gmail, meaning Gmail account
holders will soon be able to send money via
email.
The amazing thing about this is how easy it is. As
you can see in the YouTube video below, all you do
is hit a "$" symbol to attach money to an email —
just like you would attach any other file.
Google Product Manager Travis Green wrote in a
blog post that this feature will be rolled out "over
the coming months to all U.S. Gmail users over 18
years old." You can also get early access if a friend
— perhaps who works at Google — already has the
feature and sends money to you.
This could pose a threat to e-commerce startups
like Venmo, which allows you to send someone
payments through an app for iPhones or Android
phones. "Holy startup killer," said Artur Adib, a
senior engineer at Twitter.
Jeff Peters, a new media and marketing consultant,
wrote in a tweet about the news, "This could be
big…if (when) people trust it."
Tech executive Ray Nolan went even further,
declaring, "eCommerce just changed."
