[...] Tipjoy Makes A Useful Premium Twitter App To Test Its Payments API via TechCrunch – I guess for those people who need to use a single Twitter account for group twittering (gawd that almost sounds dirty) this might be just the jizz but only if you are willing to publicly fork over $5.94 using TipJoy.

This app is actually a bit of a departure from the pledge then pay model in Tipjoy.

Tatatweet mandates payment before making your account live. That’s the power of Tipjoy’s API: you don’t have to rely on payment rates.

Technically, this is as easy as asking tipjoy if a transaction has been paid or not, using this API endpoint:

[...] Say you have a group of individuals who all want to tweet from one account — right now, that’s a pain. You have to give everyone the password to the one account and have them log out of their own account and into this new one to use it. And even then, how do you know who is sending what tweet? You’d have to manually insert your own Twitter name at the end of your post or something along those lines. Now there’s a much easier way, and it comes thanks to a demo app. Tata-tweet allows you to feed multiple Twitter accounts into one feed. When you do this, it will auto-append the name of the person tweeting to the end of the message. That means no more logging out from your account to send from the group account — and no more having to copy and paste the tweet if you also want to send it from your own. You can see this in action on the Y Combinator’s founders group account…….[read entire article] [...]

you could start by going to the site in question and asking for support….

If you can’t figure that out, I am sure your APP is going to be a real treat.

2. no they didn’t hire you to cover twitter… Or no you don’t think having “twitter reporter” on your resume is pretty weak?

does anyone have data on what percentage of tips are actually paid out on tipjoy?

I was curious how much money has been pledged in the system, and how much has actually flowed through.

If TipJoy succeeds it is great as there will be a micro payment system in the world that works.
The API could be key to their success.

If TipJoy fails then someone will pick up the idea and improve it.

let’s just let things play out and see where it goes. if, in 12 months, techcrunch is dead then you can all say that you were write about TC going down hill, it’s still around, then you can publicly apologize.

TC stands for TwitterCrunch.

Personally, I think that writers are just too lazy to write about regular stuff so they just pick a trivial crap like this that’s connected with Twitter and write about that.

I can’t stand twitter and view it as a gigantic waste of time.

I’ve been following TechCrunch for a while now. And as already talked about by yourself, I strongly feel that you are talking about Twitter way too much. Agreed it’s an awesome service, but you should live up to your name as “Tech Crunch”. How about shifting focus a LITTLE from Twitter and more towards emerging technologies around the world?

Tipjoy has been an utter failure so far and this app won’t change that… unfortunately.

God, your spam is getting ridiculous. No one is going to use your stupid site because you posted a blog comment.
