-'''Micropatronage''' is a system where the public directly supports the work of others by making donations through the internet. In use as early as 2001 [http://db.tidbits.com/getbits.acgi?tbart=06629], the term was popularized in 2005 by [[weblog|blogger]] [[Jason_Kottke|Jason Kottke]] when he quit his day job as a web designer and spent a year blogging full time, living off the voluntary donations of his readership.  Micropatronage differs from traditional [[patronage]] systems by allowing many "patrons" to donate small amounts that add up, rather than one or two patrons making large contributions.
