Hi Folks, Tipjoy's Twitter Payments have been really successful for P2P and charitable payments. Now we've released an API for Twitter applications to do payments over Twitter: http://tipjoy.com/api
Because Twitter is a broadcast platform, these payments are social. That's very valuable. A microgiving cause gets the benefit of all the user's followers seeing the payment. A premium twitter app paid using Tipjoy gets a free advertisement on Twitter. It's not an orchestrated "social media marketing" effort - it's real people actually using your service. Here is a tutorial: http://tipjoy.com/twitterApps We're holding an API contest to celebrate the API release. We'll be giving away lots of schwag and our favorite app will win a MacBook Air. Contest details are here: http://tipjoy.com/APIcontest By the way, the API uses a Twitter username & password for authorization. I'm hacking together something to give all the OAuth applications some love. I'll post here when it's ready. I'd love to hear what you all think! Best, Ivan http://tipjoy.com/twitter http://twitter.com/ikirigin
