I’ve started adding TipJoy buttons to my site. Currently they’re on the econ blog directory page and the ChatterMeter. If you want to show your appreciation for these things, please leave a tip. It’s really simple, just click the button. The default tip is 10 US cents. You get to run a credit balance and pay later. After I’ve collected $5 in paid tips, I can buy stuff from Amazon. That will make me happy. You want to make me happy, right?

I’ll be adding tip buttons to individual posts soon, and hopefully there will be a way to integrate TipJoy with RSS. Another wish would be to have a tip button inside a PDF file. Then you could tip me for my academic papers.

My own payments experiment is now finished, and I’ll post the results soon. It’ll be interesting to see how the “fake” tips compare to real ones.
