			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t thank my friends often enough.  Ok, maybe for some of the big things, but definitely not for the little things.  We all could use a bit more of the positive energy that comes from a simple &#8220;thank you&#8221; from people we care about.  </p>
<p>As a first facebook application, I tried to develop something fun to help myself and the other poor souls that fall in my camp.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s called <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/karmaclub/">Karma Club</a>, and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=5215908257">here&#8217;s the Facebook listing page</a> for it.</p>
<p><strong>Some Screenshots</strong></p>

<p><strong>Some things to note how Karma Club works</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>It turns thanking friends and gaining karma into a game of sorts</li>
<li>Your karma balance goes up as friends thank you for your good deeds &#8212; and doesn&#8217;t go down</li>
<li>Everyone has a limited amount of &#8220;free karma&#8221; to give to friends. You start with 100, and gain back 3 new points each day, up to a limit of 100.</li>
<li>Note that if your free karma is at 100, and you&#8217;re not giving any away, you&#8217;re losing the 3 new points each day &#8212; so be generous in thanking your friends</li>
<li>When you thank friends, you send a private thank you note in addition to sending them karma. Only you and the recipient can see the note</li>
<li>Your &#8220;Karma Leaders&#8221; board is just among your friends.  So you don&#8217;t get made to look bad by &#8220;Mary in Cincinnati&#8221; who spends her whole day taking care of her flock of friends and neighbors</li>
</ul>
<p>Please give <a href="http://apps.facebook.com/karmaclub/">Karma Club</a> a try!  Any problems you find, or thoughts you have for making it better are welcome &#8212; here or on Facebook&#8217;s listing page for the app.  </p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
