I wrote in my initial blog post about the success of the Bay Area's Clipper Card, which has integrated payment processing for two-dozen transit agencies and given commuters one easy card to use while they travel.  Overall, the card continues to be considered a major systemwide success.  The continued rollout isn't always smooth though, as evidenced by recent bickering over the potential use of Clipper on AirBART.  

The NFC (Near Field Communication) is a short range communication technology that allows the exchange of information between two devices. There are several services that aim to use this technology to facilitate day to day tasks, like payments, check in, and others, but none of them has the popularity that was expected for this technology. One interesting idea that has not been completely explored is the use of this technology in identification devices. In particular, Moo (an online printing service company) has decided to break into the contact management area.
