Having received emails about this post-conference, I'm delighted to see Singaporeans exploring non-financial alternatives to currency. While the world does function on the monetary systems, I'm simply suggesting that we could have a more relevant / appropriate system in the online metaverse. Since the early days, even forums and commentary sites have been issuing Karma points as a way of recognizing reputation. A lot of the services and tools we use today (some you've listed), wouldn't have existed if not for these ideas. I'll try to compile what I've been reading as a blog entry soon, perhaps we could help build web services that are sustainable through direct human relations rather than mediated through cash. :) Chin Yong, thank you for sharing this!
