You can see it more often. On more and more blogs / websites. A button more which you can click. Only this one is different. Quite different.
The most other buttons, such as "kick it - de" topics are related. I set up the only in posts where any such as development or computer science. He counts how many times someone has done his admiration kund only high. You can see a number. More not. Nevertheless it is actively used.
Now comes Flattr.com. What's different here?
- You must be registered. OK, on the other also.
- If the Flattr button is a number that also, I've got something in monetary form for the posting.
- You must make a certain amount of money available to the service which is then distributed.
At least 2 euros a month. 10% go to Flattr. The rest is distributed to the paid clicks.
What does this mean for me. I have once given me a budget of 8 euros. 10% Flattr retains for itself, the rest can I "the click".
I can every time I see the button, and find the posting good, so that what pay the author. Count the clicks I active and most at the end of the month the 8 euros will be less than 10% by number of clicks divided and each click receives this amount.
Test sake I was looking for a posting me that has the button in it. It clicked and in statistics, see the following image.

I have this remaining month to distribute EUR 3.14. I have clicked once. This author would, if I more click nothing else of me 3.14 euro for his posting. When I see yet a different posting what I like, and which also still click, then he will get only half and so on.
In other words, more I click less so is month end distributed per click.
I'll try it so just one or two maybe three months. But, I fear that there will be more losers as winners. A winner is Flattr. But money spreading not just so. If all are trying to get as they invest more the system is dead run. Anyone who makes loss over time will get off.
The installation in BlogEngine.NET is relatively simple.
Simple solution
In the file PostView.aspx is the following piece of code inserted (Java script). We should of course take that it has enabled the PostView.aspx from the theme. But anyone who builds this will know already.
<div class="Flattr">
Dieser Beitrag ist mir was wert:
<script type="text/javascript">
var flattr_btn = 'compact';
var flattr_uid = '25101';
var flattr_tle = '<%= Server.HtmlEncode(Post.Title) %>';
var flattr_dsc = '<%= Regex.Replace(Post.Content, @"</?\w+((\s+\w+(\s*=\s*(?:"".*?""|'.*?'|[^'"">\s]+))?)+\s*|\s*)/?>", "").Replace(Environment.NewLine, " ").Substring(0, 250) + " [...]" %>';
var flattr_cat = 'text';
var flattr_lng = 'de_DE';
var flattr_url = '<%= Server.HtmlEncode(Post.AbsoluteLink.AbsoluteUri) %>';
var flattr_hide = 'false';
</script>
<script src="http://api.flattr.com/button/load.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div>The exact definition of the parameter can be found here . This is the quick solution for BlogEngine.NET.
Even easier solution
Wait.
Was I that makes someone an extension for Flattr whispered. Then it could be even easier. Above all, the thing with the parameter flattr_dsc. There, no HTML tags in it should occur. In particular no < img… or < a href… Flattr probably has no problems. But the W3C HTML Check. That is why the strange construct with the regex.replace. But are the calculated < img… and < a href… not removed. This should improve then the extension.
Oh, Yes. If someone has a RegEx which me all HTML tags removed … you know Yes where the comment form is. She should do now with the IE7/8.
Something else. Flattr is BETA. Runs but supposedly very stable so that it is only a matter of time until it is no longer BETA. Perhaps it is also BETA. Is so cool in the Web 2.0 environment. But I am concerned anything else. If someone wants to sign it must have an "invite" code at the time. I can offer three thereof. The first three comments that want one to get one. Just report. In the commentary. With valid EMail.
