Those who know me know I’ve been discussing reputation as a means of commerce for a while. Currently money usually supersedes any previous transgressions but what if the system was contingent on reputation? Well we’ve seen reputation in play for a while from such e-commerce sites as eBay and Amazon. Someone with a bad rating probably isn’t going to get business.
Dave Chiu and Didier Hilhorst have further articulated this for a project at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea. It’s neat to think of a future where being a nice guy gets you rewarded.
