We have started using the beta version of the donation system Flattr. This system gives the users a very hands-on opportunity to show that they like something on the internet – by donating actual money. For more explanation go see a very informative video on the flattr website.

As this is an early beta version much is still unclear. It seems obvious that Flattr holds potentials for the niche content producer and generally regarding turning clicks into money.

We don’t expect to make money on Flattr ourselves (or maybe? at the time of writing we have been flattered 4 times!). We are just curious about emerging “businesss models” and the internet. And who knows, maybe sometime we might end up recommending a Flattr account for one of our clients.
