John Tedesco, an investigative reporter for the San Antonio Express-News (or as he puts it on his site, a guy who works for that ink-covered relic called a “newspaper,”), writes in “I am officially a Kachingler”, that he likes “the idea of making it easy for people to pay for online content they appreciate.”
I first learned about Kachingle last year from Steve Outing. I thought Kachingle was a cool idea, waited for it to launch, and then promptly forgot about it. Then I read this post by the Center for Public Integrity today saying it joined Kachingle.
Turns out, Kachingle has launched in beta, and at long last I got to sign up with a convenient service to pay my favorite blogs and news organizations.
I appreciate Kachingle for its ease of use. Once you click on that Kachingle badge, paying your favorite blog a little pocket change is automatic and easy. That’s a big deal at a time when news organizations doing expensive watchdog journalism are looking for new revenue streams on the Internet.
