Taking donations… a comment on Chipin
Recently I posted a paddling video me and some friends put together. We spent a lot of money and wanted to ask for donations. I logged into my paypal account and made a donation button. Easy and simple.
Chipin (earlier post about them) relaunched with the catch phrase “The easy way to collect money“. So now they make cool little widgets to take donations. Nifty, unfortunately with the paddling video it doesn’t matter if people know how much money is donated and there are no particular goals for the amount to raise… so no chipin.
However, I wanted to see what they were up to so I’m fundraising for some new socks. The one thing that bothers me is that the thing doesn’t say ‘donate’ anywhere. If I’m only gonna spend 9 seconds on a website, I’ll probably look at the widget for 1 second and that’s not long enough to figure out what chipin could be. It would be nice if there were some unbranded widgets that say ‘donate’.

I in addition to my friends appeared to be checking the excellent guidelines from your web site while quickly developed an awful feeling I never expressed respect to the site owner for those secrets. These ladies were as a result excited to see all of them and have pretty much been taking advantage of those things. Thank you for really being indeed helpful and then for having this kind of notable topics most people are really needing to learn about. My personal honest regret for not expressing appreciation to earlier.

I have seen a lot of useful points on your web-site about personal computers. However, I’ve the impression that lap tops are still not quite powerful more than enough to be a wise decision if you usually do projects that require loads of power, like video enhancing. But for website surfing, word processing, and majority of other frequent computer work they are all right, provided you never mind the screen size. Many thanks for sharing your thinking.
