There used to be a site called Tipjoy that would let me put a small "donate" button on a webpage, and users could donate small amounts (like 25c) to me easily.

I think it was a pretty neat idea, since I want to have a way for people to give me money, and I don't like advertisements, and I don't update regularly enough to sell subscriptions like bloggers. I just have some simple web services and open-source program and I want an easy way for people to drop me some change if they think they're useful.

I've found out that Amazon used to have a similar service, but it's also been shut down.

Is there any similar web service available today? If not, what's the closest thing to offer -- a Paypal link?
