I'm slightly freaked out that iKarma's bad guy has sunglasses, darker skin, and a beard. The intro would have been more compelling if that had been the good guy.

There are already tons of ways to rate a business or a service. I suppose the "iKarma" seal could have merit over time.

It will be interesting to see if Verisign or the BBB -- somebody who already has a reputation for trust management gets into this game.

I just started using ikarma.com. Fantastic. I have been listed on the site for one week. If you Google "lace yardage" you will come up with my listing under ikarma ON THE FIRST PAGE.

I hope a lot of other web sites use this tool because the more that use it the more popular it will become.

  • Live-Blogging RJI Symposium on New Tools, New Business Models

    COLUMBIA, MO -- I am at the new Reynolds Journalism Institute building on the campus of the University of Missouri, my alma mater. It's interesting to be in a new building looking out on a campus that is so familiar and so different now. The mission of the RJI is to "develop and test ways to improve journalism through...

  • 4 Minute Roundup: Swine Flu Online; Disney Joins Hulu

    Here's the latest 4MR audio report from MediaShift. This week I look at the positive -- and negative -- way the Internet, blogs and Twitter have spread information about the swine flu. There are great resources, maps and tracking sites, but it's easy to get in a panic as well. Also, Disney joined up in the video site Hulu, putting...
