Piggy-backing on today’s post about Weighing Opportunity, let’s talk about the new social micropayments site, Flattr.

Here’s the set-up: Readers are expected to put money into a Flattr account (I can only assume Flattr takes a cut, but this is in beta, so there’s no further information).

Then, when readers see something they like on the Web (say, a webcomic) they can click on the webcomic’s Flattr button (provided the webcartoonist in question is a participant).
