The reputation economy dovetails perfectly with the theory of affective economics where the consumer is active, emotionally engaged and socially networked. It is here that the brand is constantly vetted as a “commodity of choice.” These are the commodities picked by the target knowledge community through the hypersocial sphere of media they chose to consume. It is the interconnections or entry points that touch the neighbors where the story is passed along to other adjoining Web communities through the connecting love marks and entry points.

Here affective economics, a reputation economy and commodities of choice set the stage for a viable “ethics based” commerce system. What if there was a “clearing house” for an “ethical reality?” A place where the idle rich, the fat & lazy and the environmentally wrong can cleanse themselves of their sins before they are cleansed themselves?

Here you can trade your own waste for green carbon credits. Or give yourself a front line que into a series of passes so you can rush in front of everybody else just before you vaporize? You can leave yourself a lasting legacy of hope, where good triumphs over evil leaving a personalized virtual tombstone that says “I tried.”

Not only do you get a golden express pass down the highway to the western lands, but it is also transferable into ALL virtual worlds. A hypersocial rewards program that leaves a love based footprint only attainable in the meta verse.
