Comments on Robert Scobles podcast on Zune may have come a little early to pick up on the news that Microsoft are considering making payments to people who refer a song to a friend, when that friend then buys the track.
You can see a trend out there of micro-employment. There are sites offering small payments for candidate referrals for job openings, revenue share on how-to videos and entertainment videos, and text link payments in a variety of guises.
I’ve wondered for some time now if there is a future in farming all these options and making just about enough to get by. Of course there are some lucky scribes who’ve done more than get by and I guess that’s what keeps us all interested. The web’s got a hint of the lucky dip about it.
