SquareJive was founded inside of the office that I work in. I personally knew all the founders, and even considered joining to help early on. I followed it from the idea stage to the end, and even though I was not deeply involved in it, I am very much affected by the outcome of everything. I am very upset to see the way things went at the hands of Square, Inc. It blows my mind that Square, on the surface, seems like a great service/company to work with. Yet, they go and do something like this out of public view. I wish this was getting more visibility on HN. I already started using an alternative myself and I'm going to do what I can to convince other small businesses taking mobile payments not to support Square anymore.
