Being in the merchant service industry for many years I can say I'm not all that impressed with the square other than the fact that it's free which might make it enticing. The actual equipment is flimsy at best. The rates (about 3%) are so lousy you are better off keying it on your iphone with a traditional merchant account. I really don't see much value other than coolness factor.

Union Square should throw a party for this squeeze out. Now Twitter’s not going to bite them in the @ss, unlike every moron who thinks they’re a $1 billion company.

Quick back of the envelope: if USV took half of $5M A round they led w/ a few others involved then took their whole pro-rata in B & C, they’d be in about $7.5M for 10%. So pro-rata this round would be $17.5M total for 10% or pass and stay at $7.5M for a little over 9%. Seems very reasonable for a fund of their size to pass.
