But I think there is very much a place for in-the-moment support. It's such a good feeling to get some excellent content online. I actually love tipping.
I'm eager to get that same feeling when I listen to music. It's exactly when you're listening to favorite song of yours that you want to give back. That's downright sexy compared with buying music on itunes.
Good deal. Once you add that functionality you should get websites to offer the user plums in exchange for giving them a slice of the pie. Sites like K5 and Fark and Slashdot already offer plums-for-money, so if you could make it easier for more sites to do this it would seem to be quite viral.
