This sort of reminds me of "whuffie" as featured in "Down and Out in The Magic Kingdom" by Cory Doctorow.

Downloadable for free, in full. But I highly recommend the portable version. Fits nicely in the hands, proves a point, never crashes (barring an accidental drop in a toilet) etc.
Best book I've read in a very long time. Twice.
There's even a whuffie site now. http://www.d351gn.com/whuffie/
Also check out: The Currency Of Respect http://www.guardian.co.uk/online/story/0,3605,889293,00.html
If you have already been exposed to all of these things, please accept my apologies.
