Journal Raindance's Journal: The other half of Micropayments
I think micropayments are a good idea- not that I want to pay for everything I access online, but if it enables new and quality services (from small-ish companies, hopefully) I'm all for it.
However, what about a system of micropayments that can go the other way as well, to the average/intelligent Joe?
Say I read a well-written, insightful article about X. I give the author a micropayment to read said article. Now, say I write an email back to the author bringing up a number of good points- should I get a micropayment back?
Assuming easy, transparent micropayments to those providing some sort of service / insight is a good idea, are easy, transparent micropayments paid to "consumers" a solution in search of a problem? An enabling step to certain good social/economic structures?
Who knows. Certainly not me.
