Whuffie Social Capital

A local techie blogged about The Whuffie Factor: The 5 Keys for Maxing Social Capital and Winning with Online Communities.  Whuffie is a term that attempts to describe one’s social capital with respect to the web as we see it today.  For those wanting to build a community, make it better, or just pick up a few tips – check out the book by Tara Hunt.

After Jeff’s post, I Immediately thought “What about the flipside”.  The anti-Whuffie!  Yes, we all want to know who’s popular, but I wonder how much value there would be around the bottom of this index?  Who’s in the dark, who just said the most ridiculous thing, who’s jumping the bandwagon the most, what 10 things NOT to do in the social space?  Maybe it would provide some value to those wanting to get into the social networking space, to teach them not to repeat the mistakes of those that came before them.
