Twitter announced Thursday that it's testing a new "Tip Jar" feature that allows users to send their favorite accounts money. Only a select few accounts are currently able to receive money, but all Twitter users using the app in English can now send funds to those creators.
"We $ee you – sharing your PayPal link after your Tweet goes viral, adding your $Cashtag to your profile so people can support your work, dropping your Venmo handle on your birthday or if you just need some extra help," Twitter said in a blog post. "You drive the conversation on Twitter and we want to make it easier for you to support each other beyond Follows, Retweets, and Likes." The new "Tip Jar" aims to streamline how people send money on the site. Many people use the app to fundraise or collect payment from their followers, but are forced to include their payment links after viral tweets or constantly re-up their request.
