Kudos to anyone still working on micropayments. I am a big fan of paying actual money for digital products (apps and media), but we need a model that can work for buying individual pieces. I'm sorry Foreign Affairs and The New Republic, but I will never, ever subscribe to you. Not if I had a billion dollars. But when you put something out that's making buzz I'd be happy to drop a nickel or even a quarter into the digital arcade that is my browser to support your work.
We need a way to make this work. To make it effortless. I sure as fuck don't want to load a credit card authorization to run a micropayment. Every time I have to load a credit card number is like a javascript waterboarding. I want to load $20 into my browser every month with a click and then agree to pay little dribs and drabs to the sites I visit every six months when someone points me there.
This seems do'able, so please someone just do it.
