I decided to write another letter about Flattr to a site I think should implement it, and I have a feeling it will not be the last. A few days ago I wrote to Stephenie Meyers webmaster. This time I decided that we need a way for it to get spread a bit more in comments, for all them people who use Disqus, so I decided to write them a letter. Instead of choosing the hello mail I chose the biz one. Since it sort of is a business thing, Flattr can become the new businessmodel!

Hello there! I really like your community and the comment feature in general.
I have a proposal/wish tho. There’s a new thing called Flattr which lets you flatter people you think create something good on the internet, but Flattr puts a bit of money behind it, sort of like a tipjar. It’s a wordplay of Flatter and Flat-rate. In order to be flattrd you have to contribute atleast €2 a month, which you can use to flattr others. Watch the youtube video and/or Peter Sundes talk about it on Republica earlier this year if you are more curious.

I’m not an official member of the Flattr-crew but just a fan girl who’s become quite obsessed with spreading the word about this crazy cool thing.

It would be cool if you could find a way to implement it to your site, so that people could get their flattr buttons up on comments on blogs that use your commentary field.
Flattr is still in Beta, and you need invites to join, but if you guys are interested I’m willing to set your entire crew up with invites so you can try it out and have a look.

Take Care

I’m also hoping to inspire others to write a letter to their favorite artist, website or other whatever service online and say that they want to flattr them, or wish them for some reason to implement Flattr in their service.

I want to, together with the Flattr-community that we already have and the Pirate and Activist community that I am part of, lead the way by setting a good example and showing that this really works. We are all responsable to help Flattr reach Critical Mass!
