Project idea: Pass it on!

Advocate: Minahm Kim

Project description: Have you ever done a favor for a friend and they told you that they owe you one? Have you ever cashed in that IOU? Most likely not. Perhaps because there was nothing that they could do for you. What if there was a way to take that IOU and cash it in with someone else who can actually help you.

Pass it on! is an online community similar to craigslist, but rather than buying or selling services with money, the act of doing a favor for someone else earns that person a number of points at a cost to the person receiving the favor. For the scope of this project, I would like to see Pass it on! built as a web app, with a mobile version if possible.
