Title: Venmo: do you use it and why Post by: Bimmerhead on October 11, 2014, 07:15:53 PM I have just (belatedly) been introduced to Venmo (http://pando.com/2014/10/08/quartz-coins-the-venmo-line-reminding-us-that-the-under-30-crowd-lives-in-a-totally-different-digital-world/). I'd like to hear from users as to why they like it. And if you could tell us your approximate age (under 30/over 30) too...
