        @ceruleanspark Yeah, same here. Found it after making three loans, but still! You gotta share, you gotta care. :)

        @ceruleanspark I keep kind of forgetting, but they e-mail me regularly (but not spammingly so) and I go "Oh, yeah! I've got money to lend in my account!" :p Can't recall how I first heard of it, though.

        @carcino Micro-financing site. Lending $25 at a time to the developing world. It's more in depth than that, but that's the gist of it.

            @carcino Somewhat, yeah. But the loans almost always get paid back and you can take it back or loan it out again. But it's charitable.

                @carcino Vigilantism is like charity police work.
