Kachingle Hopes ‘Social Payments can help Fund Content

Kachingle and Flattr are start-ups that use the social graph to distribute contributions.

Kachingle Hopes ‘Social Payments’ Can Help Fund Content http://to.pbs.org/dlzEq5 startups to share money you donate btwn sites.

More than just simple donations, social payment systems such as Kachingleand Flattr simplify giving money to sites you visit. Both services set up a monthly payment system, with a set amount each month, and the more sites you like, the more ways your payment is split.

The sites ultimately share about 80% of your donation after PayPal and company fees of about 7%

I’m dubious, but anything that can help fund production is a good thing.
