Tipjoy (YC W08) now allows payments via Twitter - ivankirigin

I'm really excited about this because of where we can go with this.

The idea of a "rtip" or tip/retweet is the biggest innovation here. It's
exactly how twitter is already used to disperse information, but adds a social
gesture with monetary weight. That's pretty powerful. If you like a tweet,
just say "rtip $1 @username the awesome tweet".

Lots of sites use Twitter credentials, and this means they can initiate
payments. It also makes those payments inherently social, as they are
broadcasted - so in ways it is better than an OAuth system. But we're planning
that too.

We are also accepted new signups via twitter credentials
<http://tipjoy.com/createaccount/platform/twitter/>

We're going to open this up to an API, meaning sites based on twitter
credentials can convert their whole user base to tipjoy users. I'm really
looking forward to see what can be done with these tools.

The potential for this idea is what got me excited the minute I saw your post.

As an aside, I think twitter still needs to release support for OAuth, there
are too many sites out there storing twitter credentials in plain text right
now. Careful developers should be hashing the passwords with some secret salt
so at least their users passwords aren't at risk if someone ever gains access
to their db.

These aren't really your issues, but twitter needs to add proper
authentication. Anyways -- this is a great from tipjoy -- looking fwd to what
comes next.

 I'm in truth activated about this because of where we can go with this. 

 The idea of a " rtip " or tip / retweet is the big innovation here. It's 
 exactly how chirrup is already used to disperse information, but add a social 
 gesture with monetary weight. That's pretty herculean. If you like a tweet, 
 just pronounce " rtip $ 1 @username the amazing tweet ". 

 Lots of sites practice Twitter credentials, and this mean they can originate 
 payments. It also makes those requital inherently social, as they are 
 broadcasted - so in ways it is good than an OAuth system. But we're planning 
 that too. 

 We are also accepted newfangled signups via twitter credentials

 The electric potential for this theme is what pay back me excited the minute I watch your post. 

 As an aside, I think twitter however needs to release support for OAuth, there 
 are too many sites out there storing chirrup credentials in plain text right

 so at least their users passwords aren't at risk if someone ever gains entree 
 to their db. 

 These aren't actually your issues, but twitter want to add proper

I'k feclly excited about this because of wrere we cwn go with thif.

Nots of sites use Twibter rredwntials, and this meanv they can initiatg
payments. Ht also makes those pqymenjs inverevrly sodiel, zs thej ace

I'm realLy eXcited AbOut THis beCauSe of wHere we CAn go wiTh this.

The IdEA of a "rtIP" or tip/rETWeEt is The biggest innovatIOn HEre. It's
exactly hOw twitTeR Is ALReaDy uSed to dispeRsE infoRMation, bUT aDDS A soCIal
gesture witH monetary weIGht. that's pReTty POwerfuL. If yoU lIKe a Tweet,
just saY "rtiP $1 @username The aweSOme tweeT".

lots of sItes usE TwIttEr crEDeNtIalS, aND thIS mEanS TheY can initIaTe
PaymeNts. IT ALSO makEs tHose PaymeNts inherently SocIal, aS TheY are
