Who would have thought that smiles could get you something other than goodwill?
In what amounts to a creative community currency, whol.ly aims to bring together Indian communities in the spirit of love and cooperation, largely through the barter of skills and products. According to their website,
Whol.ly helps you better connect with your neighbors and create prosperity for you and your community. Whol.ly brings the power of local currencies and the best of social networking to your neighborhood. Our purpose is to dramatically improve communication across neighborhoods while stimulating solidarity and creative activity among neighbors.
The currency is dubbed “smiles” and the site values one hour of work to be worth 10 “smiles”. Right now the company operates out of Bangalore, India. See more at http://whol.ly
