    Abstract: A system and method for explicitly building, using, tracking and displaying relationship capital. In one embodiment, the system includes user profile data, a favor recognition system, and favor exchange and rating systems. Each user is able to enter their profile information and exchange favors with other users. The system tracks the exchanges and allows users to provide feedback on the other user's performance. Exchanges are between two users, but can be posted to multiple users. The giver of a favor receives credits to their account and the receiver's account is debited for the equivalent amount. The system stores and displays the user's transaction history and provides a summary which includes the favor balance and feedback summary. Relationships between different users are defined by their exchange history.
