The real world gets an “Online Tipjar” with the Flattr Android app

Flattr, the service that lets visitors “tip a dime” to their favourite websites, is now easy to use in the real world too thanks to the launch a new Android app called Flattr4Android.

Let’s say you’re a street artist or a musician; by creating a Flattr QR code and having it displayed when you perform, passers-by can give you money simply by using the Flattr app to scan the code.

3. I wish hotels and venues made conference WIFI and LAN services more affordable for meeting organizers.

4. I wish that your event website was social media friendly and designed for mobile devices

5. I wish that I could transfer all of the crazy ideas for interaction and collaboration in my brain to your boss’s brain.
