Sharing as social token

Chris highlighted this PSFK article on how young people valued the sharing of an experience more than living the experience itself.

Like the tourist, they want to share. But today they share that memory instantly via email and MMS to their friends on Facebook or readers of their blog. They share so that other people can see the photo of a moment that they actually didn’t see. And the motivation? For social status: to bolster the image their friends and network have of them.

I wonder if equally, Blyk could become something to be shared and that the action of sharing becomes something of value in itself and not only the service. A service you could virally send to your friends as quickly as an MMS ? What would that look like?
