There comes a new revolutionary service: Flattr Plus. One of the co-founders of Pirate Bay, Peter Sunde, presented his new project: The Flattr subversion.
Two days ago in a joint communique, Flattr and Adblock Plus, the company behind the world's most popular ad blocker, announced a partnership that will allow website owners to pay even if their visitors block ads in their browsers.
The new service, called Flattr Plus, builds on the well-known Adblock Plus and adds Flattr buttons to websites where users block ads. If the user wants the content of the site, he can very simply do one click on the Flattr button.
Η procedure it requires users to have Flattr accounts into which they can deposit a sum of money at the beginning of each month.
The way the Flattr Plus service will work is by calculating all the websites that the user visits and has pressed the Flattr button to view the content. At the end of the month, the user's deposit will be shared among all the visited websites. The amount of money each site will receiveσελίδα it will depend on the number of pages the user clicked.
The Flattr Plus service will be launched in the coming months, and Flattr along with Adblock Plus will earn ten percent of all money handled through the service.
So Sunde's new service seems to be trying to offer an alternative to the classic and very annoying ad model that is in place today. If the Flattr Plus service eventually works, the advertisers they will be in a very difficult position.
