Here are two big reasons why not everyone has a Flattr button on ther website yet: - To put the button on your website you have to also be a paying Flattr user (pay a minimum of €2/month). - You are forced to pay a hefty 10% cut of everything you earn to Flattr. Also, you further have to pay all PayPal fees (those are not included in the 10% Flattr cut). And possibly taxes depending on where you live.

TipTheWeb ( http://tiptheweb.org/ http://tiptheweb.org/ ) is a new (non-profit!) service that just came out of private beta a few months ago- it has no fees for tippers or publishers, and passes 100% of claimed tips to web publishers via monthly awards. And TipTheWeb doesn’t require a subscription or any kind of ongoing commitment. Both flattr and Readability take big cuts of the money before it gets to publishers. In addition to working with popular publishing platforms and independent websites, TipTheWeb allows multi-contributor sites, like multi-author blogs, to add simple metadata to their pages so that tips can go directly to the authors of the content being tipped.
