This is interesting. Read it originally from todays 24 hours, and checked out from http://www.cyberbuzz.tv/print.html. I am going to put it on my blog right here.
The etiquette of tipping is confusing. You'll tip your barista at the coffee joint, but not the gas jockey at the pump. You'll tip your hairdresser at the salon, but not the associate at the department store.
Some people get tips just for doing their job, some don't. So where do bloggers sit on that tip scale? Are they worthy of a few paypal pennies? You pay for the newspaper you read each day, should you pay for a blog you like to check out?
Some do have subscription fees, but for the casual blogger looking to make some spare change, the blogger's tip jar has just been created.
Pro level bloggers using typepad can now set up a simple tip jar in their menu bars. It's just another way to make some spare change along with the google ads everyone seems to include amongst their text.
To make it easy, the Tip Jar feature works via PayPal, so millions of weblog readers can simply drop cash in to your weblog from their PayPal accounts or directly from their credit cards.
