Well tipping would definitely help grow the Bitcoin user base and if implemented right could be a boon to content creators.
This is one area however where I feel competition is not a good thing. Ideally it would be an application developed by the core Bitcoin team with profit not being the motivating factor. And if this could be spread internet wide, I believe we would have a winning strategy for Bitcoin adoption.

The responses in this thread kinda show just how dumb the average person in the bitcoin community is....
Bitcoin cannot handle microtransactions. Hence, using bitcoin for tipping will never, ever work(On a large scale).

Tipping is not also ideal as it will generate dust outputs that can be a problem to the receiver and the sender as well. The thought of tipping is good, but the implications are rather not good
I however really do not understand the concept of tipping, at least in the way that most people tip on places like reddit. I would say it would be more appropriate for people to receive a tip when they give a good answer w/ explanation that someone is looking for, not for making a good point, or for providing information that was previously unknown and was not being seeked
Good topic. I've been working on someways to solve somethings with a customized changetip bot.
I read what this guy had to say, (even got him using it ) http://mindbodymash.com/running-on-empty-experiments-in-pay-what-you-want/ .
My changetip bot is called TipHound and runs on the r/tiphound reddit thread.
You turn your links into tippable content at : TipHound.me .
Now your asking what is the use of it ? I don't have all the answers , but I'm starting to get a better idea as time goes and will come back here and write more about what I've discovered.
Just wanted to say tipping can change things no doubt. Thanks all.

Like this is my IDEA! HERE: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10524828
I've already figured everything out! I'm trying to tell people that this will change the world but I can't seem to find people to create the website for us!!
Gosh this is irritating.
I don't know how I can find people to pitch the idea for!!

I see a lot of tipping in Youtube, its great because it brings attention and people start talking what is that? then learn about BTC that way.

It seems very trivial but micropayments focused on tipping has the potential to unleash massive entrepreneurial and creative energy in new and exciting ways
Tipping and 100 other things too 
I like to use changetip because they have 0 fee and can be use for micro transaction
ChangeTip has 0% fee currently until you decide to move money our of their coffers.
ChangeTip who has grown to become one of the market leaders in the early bitcoin tipping industry in a span of less than 6 months for example, uses off-chain, and possibly soon, sidechain transactions to clear their inventories. Because of this, not every small tip needs to be recorded fully into the main bitcoin blockchain, but only references to the main network need to be made to ensure integrity among funds.
Actually not first attempt to make off-chain zero fee micropayment solutions. It works until someone transfer all ballance and disappears. TradeFortress is one example. This is always risk with any centralized service in my opinion

The Changetip app is good, but for tipping to really work you need a focused community.
The only two coins I see that really have an active tipping community are:
Dogecoin - tips for internet content
AppleByte - tips for artists

What's important is when if you send a tip via facebook or even reddit, indirectly that person receiving the tip will be interested to check out what it is all about and decided to find out more about bitcoin. I see this as the next big thing that could really help to lift bitcoin into mainstream adoption. And this is the right direction we are moving.
Resturants should have a QR code on the tables or menu cards that people can use.
That actually is a cool idea, but bitcoin isn't that widespread yet. But I am sure, waiters, can already chose to accept tips through bitcoin.

this would be great !! it sure would be very easy to pay the bills (no queues).

it is like tipping coin on irc
i like the idea about tipping bitcoin through social media
like changetip did

I thought changetip already is the best app/service for bitcoin, which also applied to the general population, if they wish to try it out.
