Why?

Have you ever felt that a tweet was bull's eye, answered the question of 'life, the universe and everything,' or made you laugh so much that you wanted to make the tweeter your spiritual leader? Has it ever happened that you LOLled even days later when remembering a linked article? Something more than a thanks, like a virtual high five would be handy in such cases, wouldn't it?

Favoriting a tweet often falls short of conveying our gratefulness, and a thank you reply is such an ethereal thing. Here's when karmapoints come into the picture. We felt that Twitterverse needed its very own semi-automated good deeds feedback machine, therefore we've created theKarmaBot.

In case a commercial twitter account wanted to use @TheKarmaBot as means of thanking the interest towards its brand, we wouldn't stop them. Everyone can distribute karmapoints, we're against discrimination.
