weblogs, and sabren.org [1103.1999]

What about a micropayment / patronage scheme for funding weblogs?

I'm going to be able to collect credit cards soon. What if we set up a "patron" site.. People could sign up to donate $5 or so a month, then get a little cookie. Participating weblogs would have a little gif coming from my server. So if I go to your weblog, my browser fetches the gif, sends a cookie to the sabren.org server, and a few cents hop from my account to yours..

Obviously there'd have to be some sort of fraud prevention.. I'd have to do some research into how a nonprofit can legally pay you..

The point behind sabren.org is to raise money for nonprofits (and for other humanitarian projects) .... so one option might be something like givequick, where the money you earn goes to an organization of your choice..

What do you think?
