tipjoy launched earlier this year with the hopes of creating a better tipping community, and subsequently a better online marketplace for earning money and expressing your support of a particular site you like (somewhat similar to TipIt). While sites have been accepting donations for some time now, and this process has been simplified with payment gateways like PayPal, tipjoy has sought to simplify the process even further by offering things like a bookmarklet that allows you to tip sites as you surf the Web.
And as with most sites that have looked to online communities for support and organic growth purposes, tipjoy has added automatic Twitter updates to its tipjoy bookmarklet in order to rebroadcast your kindhearted tipping activity across the social Web.
The new bookmarklet option is separate from its original bookmarklet, and you’ll still have to authenticate your Twitter account, so just because you’re using the tipjoy bookmarklet doesn’t mean your activity will be seen by the entire (Twitter) universe.
