Pretty similar to Changetip on twiitter, but the catch is this utilizes LN so it's cool! It seems that the Twitter big boss is really pushing bitcoin to become prevalent on the said social media site, and it's made apparent by this tipping service. Also, this will further push LN to its limits and we can see whether it can hold up to its propositions before it was launched--that is if the said tipping service becomes a huge hit.
Though it seems cool, the said service can easily be replicated by hackers with just a little touch of foolery and social engineering, so there's still that.

When “liking” your favorite tweet isn’t enough, you can now send small bitcoin transactions.
Announced Saturday, the beta app Tippin has released a new Chrome Extension available to Google browser users. Over Twitter, app users can send bitcoin payments via the Lightning Network, considered a way to make bitcoin transactions feasible at a large scale for the first time.

This is quite interesting and it reminds me what happened 6 months ago where you can send TRX tips in twitter and telegram with just one function.
I think that the negative point of that is the fact that tips will be sent via a browser extension. This extension can be duplicated or scammers may try to get an advantage of it and steal some Bitcoin from newbie users.
This is a pretty awesome way of promoting the lightning network at present since a small portion of cryptocurrency investors are actually aware of this network and this could help more people understand how it truly works.
Social media is a great tool, but it remains to be seen how everything will work out since the writer did mention that LN is still in beta mode and they will use the extra time to polish it up. Crypto tipping sounds great though.

Seems like there are more LN tips apps on the internet. Just a few days ago I see the same tipping bot in Telegram where a user can use a simple command like /tip to give funds to other users (not sure about the code though). I think it's cool, definitely interesting to see how will this increase the adoption and popularity of LN.
