I think it's a great idea, though no doubt in 2years time we'll find out it's a horribly flawed concept.
What's amazing is the contrast between what you can do with a few hundred dollars investing at microplace compared with living in silicon valley.
At the weekend I made a $300 investment in my MicroPlace account, which will help two people set-up businesses (in some 3rd world country). It will also provide me a 2% return(*). Then I went to Costco and spent $500 on utter crap that I didn't really need.
I suppose I should be grateful and stop complaining about the price of Latte.
