Carrot-and-stick-incentive

In reply to Soraya's speech at Palomar 5 in Berlin today. What you think?

What about if you could create an incentive system where everyone doing good can earn miles / points with which she / he earns something. The "doing good" needs to be quantifiable / measurable. For example, you earn points for retweeting messages of social ventures. Or for sending out emails forwarding a certain message. Corporate sponsors - who want to associate themselves with the positive initiative (driving the human good) - gonna reward point earners. 

Another idea: what about if you create a plugin to task management software where everytime you miss a deadline you automatically pay some amount to a charity? By that I have an incentive to really meet my deadlines, and if I don't at least the world profits from my stupidity ;-)
