I am usually something of a Xobni fan, but this facebook 'praise and adoration' is a little over the top. I see a place for charging people to 'follow your lead' or take your advice based on your community reputation, but the article should have talked about this in a broader perspective .There are several reasons why this would be hard to implement within a facebook context AND absolutely no reason why it cannot be done by someone else.
