- malcolmlo, on 07/09/2009, -0/+5Great article, thank you. I think Micropayments (i like my name better. nanopayments would be 1-2 cents) are the future for SOME web sites/services. Certain things just wont apply(IE news, sorry news guys people will never pay for news again - just way too many free sources out there to compete with, general news is an advertising only business model from henceforth). And if we flood the market with micropayments for every damn site (which probably will happen) the concept will get ruined quickly.
- jman583, on 07/09/2009, -1/+6This is the other way.
- javaroast, on 07/09/2009, -1/+6How is something that appears to be in the earliest of planning stage considered to "finally came of age" Then again this is techradar, so I should probably just assume a poorly written article in advance.
- phr0stbyte, on 07/08/2009, -3/+6the first micro payment i remember making was for a dollar gift on facebook, when they first came out with the gifts.

- orville1151, on 07/10/2009, -0/+2I think that it's a great idea. Incentive to create will almost always bring more interesting ideas. And one of the best incentives is financial reward.
How about something like an internet search engine that charged you .1 cent per search with an annual cap of $50?
But you say that Google is free. No, because my search engine will contain no ad based searches, unlike Google.
You would just get the best search results possible without any influence from advertisers.
Many of the internet problems that we now have are due to the fact that it costs nothing to be on the internet, except the cost of your isp. - Paintballing, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1Seems pretty common sense stuff really, but nethertheless is a good article. I remember a few years ago there was a guy here in the UK on the news who sold a million pixels on his website home page for a dollar each to different advertisers and made a million dollars relatively quickly.
- Zipko, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1The internet isn't free. This is just another way to pay for it without making it too painfully obvious that you are.
- nyxerebos, on 07/09/2009, -0/+1I think it has a future for porn. Most nobody wants to pay $20 a month to subscribe, but access some fraction of content - ie, that which you're actually interested in - for $0.10 and you might have a much bigger market. Already works this way for VOD, but paysites mostly don't do this yet.
