Tim, you’re a d1ck wad. People choose the profession of working at SBUX or any companies they wish. If the money they take in is not good enough, they jack up the price. I don’t feel sorry for people who aren’t smart enough to find opportunities or invest money in making certain things happen.

[...] Tipjoy Tipjoy is an easy micropayment system for the web. It has been designed to cut out the steps necessary for website visitors to leave small amounts of money for content publishers, such as bloggers. The Tipjoy button placed on a website asks for only an email address and by default registers a donation of 10 cents. The service is nearing 70,000 impressions per day and the founders are exploring different models for micropayments, such as employing them to finance high definition video on the web. We wrote about Tipjoy here. [...]

We are building a tipping service called Tipit.to (http://tipit.to) which is free of charge and which you can actually get money paid out of as a tipjar owner.

When people get money paid out, they can tip Tipit.to an optional percentage.

We agree that putting a button on a website is not going to cause a lot of revenue in and of itself, tipping is a social phenomenon with its own rituals. We are trying to take those to the internet by making it easy to publish what you have tipped and who has tipped you (we offer badges for both).

Those greedy bastards have already raised their share to 3% (see http://tipjoy.com/faq/4/#q14).

And yes, sadly, they come after you if you skip the bill: “This email will be sent once a month until the bill is paid or the account is closed.” (http://tipjoy.com/faq/4/#q16)

I was kinda hoping to get a second chance after I tipped everybody and everything, since they make spending money so easy…

@70, Michael: Maybe I’ll pay it later. Or never.

There is a big free rider phenomenon right now. It’s called the web. We figure that payment rates might be low, but they will be something. Time will tell what the “tip through rates” and payment rates are. I don’t think anyone has a good model for that yet. <100% is pretty much guaranteed though.

@71, Chris: Customize & API

Yes, Yes, Yes! The API is coming soon. The Platform API will allow sites with user generated content or many authors to split tips between the platform owners and the content creators. That will be awesome.

Custom buttons are also on the way. The list of things we can do with this is very long.

Thanks for your comments, all!

Finally a micro-payments service that could make sense in the long run. I am hoping we will be able to customize buttons and use a future API for even more robust ventures.

In the meantime we are using it to have some fun!

Cheers!
