Anyone who wants to view an animated gif of Jay's kittycat, right now,
for ten cents worth of e-gold, can create an account. Tell me which
e-gold account number, and I'll spend you enough to do it. Pooter the
increasingly-famous cat is at:

Our Flying Rat project works in a similar way, with e-mail for pay.

I'm surprised more folks aren't selling content for tiny payments with
us, it's certainly possible. http://www.e-gold.com/news.html has other
interesting recent developments -- we've lowered OutExchange fees
and we now accept Western Union's "Quick Pay."
