Tipjoy -- tip people and sites you like

You know what is annoying?

Acai berry diet ads on facebook.

Yeah ads are annoying, and I know a few superstars who are trying to turn that around:

Abby and Ivan Kirigin at Tipjoy.com

From their blog, an entry on how Tipjoy is the new online tip jar:

Seth Godin recently told us all to click ads on sites we like.

Of course, it's our opinion at Tipjoy that instead of clicking ads, it would make much more sense to leave the content creator some money directly. Cut out the middle man, and do it without leaving the page, and certainly without being taken to an annoying ad page.

So you can leave a quarter here, a quarter there... all to sites you enjoy.
Then the money starts to flow. You start out with 5 bucks, and you get 20 quarters to leave around in whatever fashion you'd like. Plus you can check it out with out paying first.

For those people that are getting the tips, you can spend the money how ever you like:

Click the 'spend' button at the top right of any Tipjoy page. From there you can cash money out of your Tipjoy account into your PayPal account. You can also give your money to another website (a charity, maybe?), or have us turn it into an Amazon gift card for you.

And it is super easy to integrate into blogger, MT, wordpress etc.

FAQ help to break it down.
