I can't come up with any big objections to this, and I usually don't have trouble with that (except for the usual: It's purely speculative whether it will gain traction or not.)

It will be interesting to see if bloggers, et al, start playing to the gallery if they get used to "tips".

One suggestion: Allow a way for website owners to 'redirect' a portion of a tip jar's tip to the creator of a particular piece of content.

Lots of blogs are really good at finding the best things on the internet, and delivering them to readers. The content creators clearly should get most of any tips, but the "finders fee" is also an important part.

We intend on building this. The challenge will be making it clear that the button goes in part to both people. We really don't want to make users think too much about tipping.
