Re: Trading Cards

Paper is SO 19th century. How about e-Trading Cards? We could use <some online technology> to create decks of cards that people could "trade" and show off. Anyone remember hypercards? Something like that, only online. The E-TC would have some kind of serialization so that if you traded one, it would disappear from your storage folder and appear in the new owners'. By only trading registered and serialized cards, rarity and trading would be protected from copying (which would spoil the fun anyway). I wonder if some DRM scheme could be easily adapted to this? A quick interface development project and a hosting site, and some of you would be the next Google. Please save me 1% of the stock, OK?
