The New Dark Age

5 August, 2100 — FLATTR

* Flattr is a social micropayment platform that lets you show love for the things you like.
* Help support the people you like and enable them to continue with what they do.
* Add your own things to Flattr and receive appreciation from others.

For a number of years there have been various attempts at designing a micro payment system that works effectively for small amounts of money that paying by card or Paypal for example, most just can’t be bothered to do.

Does it work? Well it’s not live yet so the jury is out, but generating income ‘for the rest of us’ out of the work we collectively perform in bringing news and information to readers/viewers is, in my opinion, a vital part of the Web.
