Serios

Similarly, using Serios is costly: if I spend mine to get Barack Obama's attention, I can't spend them to get yours.

I then added to my webpage some statements to the effect that, in general, I will not be responding to emails that have no Serios attached.

Seriosity created an Outlook aplication called Attent that enables a user to attach Serios to email.

They seem to have divorced the Serio from email per se - you could send someone 10,000 Serios with the message "Please have a close look at the comment I just put on your Facebook page."

For my own work, I imagine sending Serios to a former student on the occasion of tenure, or paying a current student some Serios to make game art, or paying my colleagues some Serios to help me with a guest lecture.

The Serios are drawn from the user's Seriosity account.

I have since learned that Seriosity now allows you to send Serios simply via the web - not attached to a particular email.

Since it is a scarce resource, I know that a message with more Serios attached means more to the person who sent it.

Being limited in supply, Serios become valuable through a simple, unavoidable fact about the nature of economic human life: Opportunity Cost.

The Attent program, which is the way you attach Serios to emails, works in Outlook, so I hesitated to switch from Thunderbird.
