   Haha! I like this idea! Maybe you’re just looking to be entertained (and hey, nothing wrong with that) but I’d really like to see this idea develop a little more. Something like a forum based website for beggars where people can post how much they need and for what, and random strangers can contribute whatever they can to get the digital beggar from point A to point B. Kind of like, say, Estaban and Cecilia are getting married in two months and need $300 in bus fare for Cecilia’s grandmother who lives umpteen miles away and can’t reasonably attend otherwise, so 30 posters chip in to save the day. I don’t know. There’s something about the idea of a society dedicated to helping other people for no reason that has tremendous appeal.

   And I will indeed be developing these ideas further.
