I like your metaphor a lot. I have been thinking that whuffie shouldn't be a 'limited resource', in the sense that there is a hard limit on how much you can 'give' to people, on the basis that if you were too profligate with your giving it would be devalued anyway. The notion of damping inflation and gaming by linking it to some renewable but finite and non-physical resource, especially one so personal, is very interesting.
Thanks for the heads up on the openid issues, I'll try and take a look at it soon.

I think you're absolutely right that there is a lot of relevant stuff out there that's not web-centric. And it's important to keep in mind the personal, even intimate, nature of what makes up our social capital. Some of that might not be stuff we are comfortable sharing publicly. But hopefully something web-centric can both accommodate altruism and cooperation that actually happens online (and off), and perhaps extend the reach of where we can 'use' social capital instead of money. Perhaps you could think of it as a global LETS scheme?
