@anya1anya A bit harsh, no? I am talking about pros connecting directly with fans, not hobbyists. Also, projects big media won't fund.

@anya1anya I understand that people don't always want to chip in, but then they lose the right to complain when what they like goes away.

I prefer Kickstarter (project-driven crowdsource funding) or NPR-style recurring donation models, @anya1anya , to support Web creativity.

The best thing about the Internet is that it lets you have a direct connection w/artists you like. If you don't support them, you're a fool.

Just donated to @wtfpod and @caEEshow , two of my favorite podcasts. Both well worth the money for the entertainment each week.

I'm a real SM believer, and all. But I sometimes think the highest and best use of Twitter is to be (and promote being) friendly.
