Flattr! An interview with Linus Olsson, CEO

Are you reading excellent blogs or using open source software? Wishing you could pay the creators a small sum in a simple way? That is the idea behind Malmö-based online payment company Flattr, one of the smaller Swedish startups that have gotten a lot of international recognition.

I talked with CEO Linus Olsson about startups (naturally), the business and revenue model behind Flattr but also about the small number - and vulnerability - of online payment and the systems behind it. Flattr got a lot of recognition last year when it was the only way for Wikileaks to get donations after all the big payment companies had blocked donations to the organisation.
