Experiment in payment systems for creators

FYI, Here an initiative from Flattr, a private service, for exploring ways of giving money to creators on the metaphor of "street shows".


> We are on a mission to help creators get money for the value they create for all of us. We believe that the way people pay must be in line with the way people behave online. If you think about it, we click a lot of links only to realize it wasn’t for us. That’s because we are explorers.
> 
> With Flattr supporters can send money to creators after they’ve consumed content and found it valuable for them.

And 

> Creators get their money
> At the end of the month we divide supporter’s budgets in the number of flattrs made and send the equally big parts to creators. Creators receive their money on the 10th the coming month. The value of a flattr is a users monthly budget divided by the number of flattrs he or she makes during a month.
