TidBits and PayBits

TidBits, a longtime Macintosh-oriented weekly email newsletter, has announced PayBits, a way for readers to help contribute to writers.

Here’s where PayBITS comes in. At the end of appropriate articles in TidBITS, we’ll be placing a few lines of text and a link to an Internet payment service that will make it possible for readers to compensate the authors directly. Apart from a one-line explanation of PayBITS for readers who have missed this article, the specific text, suggested amount (if any), and payment service (likely PayPal or Kagi) will be up to authors.
