Check out Flattr. The future of the economics of artistic production?

New to me. Looks cool. Patronage tech. Interesting idea.


1. You need to give to get
All Flattr users are part of the social payment ecosystem so at least 2 Euros per month must be used to flattr others. You must be willing to give to get.

2. Means and revenue
Your Flattr account has two balances, “Means” and “Revenue.” Means is what you give to others, revenue is what you get from others. You pre-pay to “Means” and then use as much as you want from that each month.

3. How much to give each month
You decide how much to give to others each month. This is then automatically withdrawn from "Means" at the end of each month. If you don’t flattr anything that month's money will go to charity.

4. Get flattred
Submit your thing and add buttons to your web page to get flattred, all accounts can both give and get. When you receive money you keep 90% as we need some to keep the systems afloat.
