You may have noticed the new buttons at the end of my posts and wondered what on earth is flattr?  Flattr is a way to pay people quickly, easily, and in reasonable amounts for content that you think is awesome.

When you’re registered to flattr, you pay a small monthly fee. You set the amount yourself. At the end of the month, that fee is divided between all the things you flattered. You’re always logged in to the account. That means that giving someone some flattr-love is just a button away. And you should! Clicking one more button doesn’t add to your fee, it just divides the fee between more people!

I’ve been looking for a micropayment service like this for a really long time.  Hopefully all the newspapers and bloggers I love will start using it so I can start paying them for great work.  And I imagine I’ll find out just how much you all actually like my posts!
