Ads ARE NOT the new online tip jar
Great post by Tom Willerer in reaction to a recent post by Seth Godin.
Tom suggests someone “creates an actual online tip jar that is as easy as clicking on an ad”. This is something I’m really interested in, and will be intrigued to see what role online tip jars play in the future of monetising content.
Take a look at Tipjoy. It’s pretty much as easy as clicking on an ad, but will need a much larger user base before it gets anywhere near addressing the issues Seth talks about. Shows great promise though.
