Poor technology predictions...
I've never been known for an ability to predict what's going to be popular or successful... but I have to admit that I'm a bit surprised at how little discussion there's been about the actual tipjoy.com site and the idea of micropayments in general.
Given the economy these days... don't people want to make money? :)
Personally, I've still got some disrectionary income -- not much, but I still buy coffee most days -- and would be happy to send a few cents to people who post something particularly entertaining or moving. Shouldn't a couple who's innovative enough to do a wedding march dance get some sort of reward?
Not that my cow-themed tip-joy.com site qualifies as entertaining or moving... but what about the concept itself?
