Flattr is a Sweden-based microdonation provider founded by Peter Sunde and Linus Olsson and launched in March 2010.〔 == History == In March 2010 Flattr launched via an invitation-only basis〔 and then opened to the public on 12 August of the same year.〔(Flattr now open for everyone! )〕 Flattr is a project started by Peter Sunde and Linus Olsson. Users are given the choice to pay any monthly donation (provided a minimum of 2 euros) which is then split equally among websites, pages or service accounts they selected using a flattr button. This is comparable to an Internet tip jar. The word "flattr" is used as a verb, to indicate payments through the Flattr system. Upon clicking a Flattr button, users are logged in to the Flattr site, thus said to be "flattring" the page they are on. Sunde said, "We want to encourage people to share money as well as content." In the beginning of the service, Flattr itself takes 10% of all the users' monthly flat rate, although this fee may be reduced in the future.〔 In December 2010, Flattr received large-scale attention when it was tweeted to be a method of donating money to WikiLeaks, which had recently been cut off by PayPal, Visa, and MasterCard. On 28 April 2011, Flattr announced by email that they would not require users to flattr others before they could be flattrd themselves, starting from 1 May 2011. On 16 April 2013, Twitter announced that they would no longer allow Flattr users to Flattr favorites, citing commercial confusion problems they believed would occur between users. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flattr」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
