Bookmarked 03/12/2010: Flattr - interesting way to combine micropayments for supporting good stuff
Flattr: New Micropayment System - Gets the Model Right - DonationCoder.com
“The idea is that users pay some flat fee into their central account, and then whenever they want to support a site or some content producer on the web, they simply click a button on that web page (or download a song, etc.). Then at the end of the month, your flat monthly fee is divided up among all of the places you chose to support that month. So if you pay $10 a month into your account, and clicked to support 10 people that month, each would get $1. If you only supported 2 people, they would each get $5. To me this is EXACTLY the right model for a donation-based voluntary support system. It lets people decide how much they can afford to give, and makes it super easy (even fun) for them to divide up their gifts.”
