The payments space is on fire and it’s not just about the recently-filed Square IPO. The payments space is seeing a lot of interest by investors and partners in the larger financial industry.

Payments isn’t a pure-bred space anymore. Instead of payment-focused companies, you’re finding companies entering the payment space from all kinds of angles. Apple (AAPL?) , Google (GOOGL) , and Amazon (AMZN) might all be powerhouses over the long-term in the payment space.

But, what if you’re new to the space? Where would you begin to learn about payments:  from new payment technologies to news in the space to analysis of what to look for coming down the pike for payments?
