"Karma points are a social currency, and everyone can get involved. The 'Jump On!' feature lets the community vote for the most 'karmic' actions, and gives bonus karma to the person responsible. The best karma bubbles to the top for everyone to see." Karmadu could also be a great way for ECs and RCs to stay in touch over the summer - the site includes a Google Map of all the Karmadu users, so members can see where all their friends are located!
Karmadu is easy to use. Once a user joins (either online at karmadu.com or via their mobile device by sending a text to "join" to k@karmadu.com), he or she can immediately begin to send karma. Each time a user sends karma, the recipient gets one karma point. Each member may send one karma point per day to each friend.
Additionally, members can invite non-members to sign up, customize their profile, view their total karma point balance, join groups (and check out the karma of other people in a group), browse the site, promote Karmadu by placing a code snippet for a button on a website, blog, or MySpace profile, jump on an existing karma point, leave a message for the recipient, or send karma from anywhere using a mobile phone.
