Thank you so much for commenting.

I agree with your point that not everybody does well without the prospect of getting something in return, and in that respect Whuffies are a nice little reward. In this case, a currency of social reputation is definitely better than one of money so in that respect the Whuffie Bank is a great initiative.

Best,

Great post – I actually came across Whuffie Bank myself yesterday – I agree with you that we shouldn’t need to get “paid” (virtually, or otherwise) for doing good, and that the Law of Karma, is naturally to give and get back – organically.

But I have to say, not everyone is inspired to do this, and if anything can motivate people to think before they act, speak or do, it has to be a good thing – not all are blessed with altruism and “treat others how you wish to be treated” mentalities.

So I say good for you Whuffie Bank! On being brave enough to step forward in trying to bring this focus of being to the forefront of people’s minds – because if we all had these attributes, lets face it, the world wouldn’t be in the state it is today!

I won’t comment on the ROI issue – apart from agreeing with Jonas in that @thebrandbuilder does have the best way of explaining and getting to the heart of the ROI debate, in the funniest way

Keep up the good work Mindjumpers
