Old world - Nice guys finish last
New world - Nice guys finish first.

TechCrunch 50 was happening this week. It hosted the launch of start up Akoha
-- it's a game based on the pay it forward principle. Basically you get a deck of "mission cards" like "buy someone coffee", "give someone a book" and you go around doing what you probably do for your friends anyway. Then you pass the card to them and they do it for someone else. The game adds some structure to the act, positive feedback, and links you to a community of other nice people.

It's a little like geo-cacheing for good deeds.

I like it. I think in today's world we need to be reminded of how many nice people are out there doing good things for others. It think it might inspire me to reach out a little more often. And maybe something I do will inspire more good deeds and like the old Clariol commercial "and so on and so on and so on."

Would it inspire you too?
