Should we use TwitPay to turbocharge our Tipping Policy?
Thursday, December 18, 2008 at 10:06AM 
The Real Estate Cafe's original tipping policy gave commission rebate credits to active clients who contributed listings to our RealEstateBubbleMap: Boston. TwitPay could give us the opportunity to create a virtual Tip Box on every street corner!
Do-it-yourself home buyers and sellers, should we use TwitPay to turbocharge our Tipping Policy? If so, should we "pay" clients who post comments, photos, audio or video to our web site or wiki with micro-payments via TwitPay (or another web app like Arlington-based TipJoy), commission rebate credits, Dining Dough certificates, or other form of compensation? Should compensation be from The Real Estate Cafe to clients or from consumer to consumer, whether they are a client or not?
Finally, should we invite clients to compensate other real estate professionals or limit tips to our own team? We're eager to add "guest chefs" to our team of experts. If you're willing to work on a fee-for-service basis, or receive "tips" for original content please call us at 617-661-4046.

Hi, Abby, co-founder of Tipjoy here. Just a few things to think about when deciding what service to use: Twitpay lives only on Twitter, and they don't allow cash out. Tipjoy operates on Twitter but is much bigger than just Twitter payments alone. So with Tipjoy, in addition to using Twitter to give your contributors money, you can also put Tipjoy widgets on your blog, and on any content your contributors create, right here on the site.
