Peter Sunde about Flattr Social Micro Donations

Talk by Peter Sunde at re:publica 2010 about "Flattr Social Micro Donations".

Description:

"Flattr experiments with a new way on taking on the long lasting question - how will people make money on the internet?

Theres always been a lot of talk on how people will make money on what they create on the internet. The focus of these discussions has always been how to compensate for previous losses that occurs in the paradigm shift to the Internet. Flattr tries to tackle this problem in another way why shouldnt everybody have the possibility to be compensated or paid for content? And why is everything easier on the internet than in the offline world, except payments? Previous spokes person for The Pirate Bay, Peter Sunde Kolmisoppi, gives his story on why he created Flattr and how he believes this experiment may benefit art and culture."

I'd put money on facebook capitalising on this idea by creating their own "Flattr" button and a monetary account system on facebook itself. Stunning idea though.

This is the way music art and any work will get any attention to the actual person and a real way we can attest their own worth. People who are on the internet are a class of stupid people, smart people, and in betweens. Its not just about whos rich and whos poor as is the way we do things now. A record company decides if ur worth it , if your good. With this system if your good your profile will say ur awesome by the ammount people give back to you.

This is amazing.

[CRVbajs]

I would flattr this.

[1beat1bong]

Excellent.

Soon, the difference between Liking someone/something and Flattring them, is putting your money where your mouth/click is. (And I wonder if Jeremy Rifkin's "The Third Sector" will play into this, too.)

Now if only Peter Sunde will get together with Eben Moglen to kill Facebook!

The future is not about forcing people to pay for what they like :

The future will be about giving back for the enjoyment, fun and value to a persons life.

The paradigm will shift in the near future ; Good luck Flattr!
