Any online community that is big enough to have any meaningful volume of virtual gifting between users should be big enough to build its own virtual gift function. Am I missing something? I just don’t see how Viximo can make any significant amount of revenue.

I don't buy them, but many do. Viximo might have a shot at an even larger market and help monetize many social web properties.

Someone praises a company and then that person must have some sort of secret agenda. Actually, Todd Gray (if that is you real name), I started using Viximo as a tester having found out about it through the digital art community. Loved it. I now know one person that works there. Big deal. I also know people at Google, Apple, and many other big companies, should I not praise their products because I know people that work there? I guess I shouldn't sing the praises of the new MacBooks b/c I know some of the Apple designers. Please get a clue. Got to love the trolls.
