I love the referral points idea. I also think hosting actual LOVEolution events is a great idea. People could have LOVEolution parties or circles. The LOVEolution products could be purchased for and then introduced at the gatherings. I am reading “A Hidden Wholeness” by Parker Palmer. The book suggests something called a Cirlce of Trust to describe a range of activities from a gathering of two or three people to a book study, support group or formal retreat. The Love Game from The LOVEolution could happen virtually on the site 24/7, and then have a model for expansion into our homes and beyond.

Justin – I think that’s a great idea. You’d definitely need to rank the exercises/activities so you can assign them a points value and then you’d have an idea of how many points would equal a new level and badge for your profile.

Maybe a way to make it more interactive or at least more viral would be to get friends who are not currently on the site involved. Then there can be referral badges and points as well.

To take it to the next level, and as we discussed at our drink meeting a few weeks back, hosting and participating in local love events (or planning actual LOVEolution events) might also garner points, badges, etc.

This has got to work, especially in countries who are being challenged at the moment. Love is the only thing that will be victorious. From South Africa

Ummm… good idea. Maybe you wouldn’t even need points… perhaps it could just be a place to come together to gain inspiration and ideas about spreading love. There could also be a section where you place your intention for the day and share what activities you were committed to accomplishing. I am looking forward to whatever you create. Be love.

This sounds fun! It would help remind me of good things to focus on.

I just wanted to say I think this is a really great idea! Fun and impactful.

Obviously increasing the love in your life and the world is its own reward, but if you’re going to have points, do you think the points should maybe lead to something or count for something? Maybe you could have a profile and you would get badges or “trophies” for each points milestone, kind of like on MSN games.

Also, perhaps you could have “badges” for the different types of love or activity (e.g. as you suggested above, Experience, Personal Growth etc) which can be earned by doing a certain number of points towards them, like in Girl Guides or Scouts. If you know what I mean?
