Competition Rules!

Recently, two pieces of good news arrived at my “doorstep” - Bloglines (my first-choice feed reader), that is. As a Malaysian, it was great that:

  1. Commission Junction (CJ) was now accepting Malaysians again, and
  2. Paypal was setting up a regional office in Singapore, which could possibly lead to Malaysians being allowed to withdraw Paypal funds officially.

One wonders though, whether the recent rumors of a CJ-alternative by Google and launch of Google Checkout, a Paypal-alternative, had a part to play in this.

Probably not much since the timelines don’t really match, but it’s nice to think that it was the threat of increasing competition that spurred these changes.
