I'm the Founder at YourSports. We're creating the sports graph--a social network for local sports.

Our first release is Plays, an iOS app that democratizes live play-by-coverage of any football game entirely into Twitter. We've taken play creation on your phone from 30 seconds down to 3: http://bit.ly/rsSo1C

Here's a bit of my journey.

If Facebook owns the social graph then PayPal owns the commerce graph with 80M registered identities.

Even better, unlike every other player trying to compete with Apple, odds are you already have a PayPal account.

"The analogy here is to compare PayPal's release of [the mobile payment library, which is now integrated into Appcelerator] to the original Facebook Connect SDK several years ago," says Scott Schwarzhoff, VP of marketing at Appcelerator. "This time, instead of a social graph, we're talking about a commerce graph. And the numbers are large -- over 80 million [PayPal] commerce-related identities waiting to go mobile."
