The Next Web conference in Amsterdam just announced the winner of their startup competition. The judges were unanimous in naming My Name is E, and the startup got the audience vote as well. E lets you share contacts via mobile like a super-charged electronic business card. The trick is that instead of just letting you share a VCF card, it also connects you to the other person’s social networks automatically, so no need for all that tedious email inviting when you get back to the office/home. The runner up was Yunoo, a personal finance site aimed at people in the Netherlands.

A quick FYI, Authorize.Net is not a payment processor. They are just a gateway which means they just act like a credit card terminal in a store. The real questions you will have will be for the processor who actually processes your payments for you.
Here's a good list to start with:
1) Am I locked into a contract?
What makes you different then the other guy?
2) Is there a monthly minimum fee?
3) Is the equipment/software you are selling proprietary?
4) How long does it take to get my funds?
5) My average sale is $xx.xx. How much would I pay with you?
6) What will my fees be if I don’t do AVS?
7) Is this an introductory rate? Can my rates change?
Always do a comparison of providers as there are many different ways to say the same thing. I linked to a comparison worksheet that should help you out with this.
