You're right, Jyri wrote an excellent piece on this and he's pointed me to a couple of other sources. For more on Social Currency see Douglas Rushkoff (for example, in The Feautre). Very interesting concepts that will gain ground in the years to come in business contexts, I think.

Have fun with Sensor! I'd love to hear more as it rolls out.
