I do think the aggregated profile is important, but I don't think a universal reputation system type of score will work. Primarily because reputation is earned within a context. The web is just too big to provide that context. This is a point that is really hammered home in the new O'Reilly book Building Web Reputation Systems. Reputations (which this basically would be) are very powerful within context, but almost meaningless outside of it. It would also have to be quite bureaucratic to control how points are awarded, which I imagine many people would find onerous.
- dwynings 16y agoI don't know that I completely agree that the web is too big to provide context. Maybe the vastness of the web suggests that a reputation system is necessary. The fact that people want to display their wealth of knowledge, friends, followers, etc. to THEIR social graph provides enough context in my opinion.
