Flattr w/Thingiverse, Readability, Demotix: Rewarding Creators and Crowdfunding

This coming Saturday morning at SXSW Interactive in Austin, Texas, MakerBot / Thingiverse Web Warrior Marty McGuire will take part in a panel discussing crowdfunding and micropayments in general, and Flattr in specific.¹

I’ve been enjoying the arrival of Flattr to Thingiverse,² and dream of the day in the not-to-distant future that services like these can help 3D modelers on Thingiverse located anywhere in the world both share their work globally with those who might use it, and receive a healthy influx of cash-love back from those benefitting from their efforts.

If you’re going to be at SXSW Interactive this Saturday at 11am, go check out the Flattr panel, cheer Marty on, and join in some lively discussion about living in the future!

1. This is actually the second time Marty has spoken on behalf of MakerBot / Thingiverse, but the last time was as a Citizen MakerBot Operator at MakerFaire Detroit. This time is for realsies! [↩]
2. A chance to tip folks one month, and then pour my Flattr revenue from the previous month back into tipping the next month’s folks! [↩]
