But true micro payments do need to be a lot smaller than that. It's kind of the idea if every web browser could load a dollar a week into their browser and have it evenly paid to each site they visit.

It doesn't seem like a lot of money but if everyone did it I'm guessing it would probably beat Adsense.

There are hundreds of other applications as well for micropayments.

You can aggregate those and pay them out when they become big enough. Bitcoin stores every transaction on every computer on the Bitcoin network. It's not suited to transactions that small, you're just wasting everyone's resources.
