Good idea. Let me know if you raise any money that way. If it works for you, I'll consider it for aR.

Great for visibility and linkbacks. I'll try to find someone willing to design a Powered by activeRenderer logo. I've found out that including a 'how this works' link with aR activated interfaces works well.
