Karmawish is a new social networking site that hooks you up with other people who need help. Helping them earns you karma points, which gives you access to help that you need from others as life trips you up.
Pay it Porward was exponential (you do three good deeds when you receive one), and this seems linear (one for one, based on the 'value' of the good dead).
As for 'making sure that a good deed IS it's own reward', no this isn't that. The point of that axiom is that doing the good deed is itself a reward to the do, not that they will be 'rewarded' in some way in the future. For this site, you'd have to modify the sayign to say something like "A good deed deserves another." or somthing like that.
I don't think he thinks to much. I just think he stated something obvious, but inserted an unneeded cynicsm.. Doing a good deed does make someone feel good. But we still call that altruism (even though we get the 'benefit' of feeling good). Its no less altruist if your only 'reward' is being happy that you did a good deed (thus going back to the 'a good deed is its own reward' thing).

Rarely is altruism truly altruistic. At minimum, the giver feels good about him/herself for having done a good thing.
