Tips don't really work. You need to sell stuff. Branding in the name sucked when we were pushing long and hard* to become a general purpose payments company. Our twitter API could power a full freemium model, subscriptions, etc. - but not enough apps on twitter used it. *twss

Did you ever see http://www.harmony-central.com/Features/Fairtunes/ http://www.harmony-central.com/Features/Fairtunes/ - tips for music artists in 2000 that closed down. For musicians, what if there was a way to offer downloads or a virtual chatroom where musicans could interact with tippers only. Artists could keep log of all their fans. The problem may have been a tip niche wasn't honed in upon.
