    Re: Donation buttons

    With Kachingle (my company) you can make voluntary micropayment contributions to anything. We've already added our donation widget to The Onion and just added it to Tech Dirt.

    Kachingle now has over 1500 sites (which can be anything from a blog to a website to a single YouTube channel or even a game or web app). Anyone can add anything using this simple form.

    List of All Sites/Blogs/Games/Apps already added to Kachingle.

    The Kachingle donation widget is a browser extension so there is no need for the producer to do anything except give us their PayPal email address (or we can send a check). It's $5/month for users - 85% of that money goes directly to the producers in the form of micropayments. We manage all PayPal fees (in and out) which are 8%, and we take 7%.

    I've hesitated to comment here because Mike trashed our attempt read here and here when we tried get the NYTimes to leave their blogs outside of the paywall.

    We've built our system to be user-centric. If our user wants to reward a producer -- including UCC on platform sites such as Flickr and YouTube -- we can make it happen!
