Flattr: Not Micropayments But Microdonations

I saw this blurb about Flattr over at Boing Boing today – a new micropaymentsdonations service from Peter Sunde, a creator of the Pirate Bay.  It's in beta though, not sure I'm going to sign up for it yet. In a nutshell, the idea is akin to a shared tip jar — people pay Flattr a monthly tip and than Flattr divides it up among all of the content creators you've clicked a Flattr button for that month.
