This is an interesting idea - but presupposes that employees spend an inordinate amount of time on porn sites. Seems to me that this would be a much better fit for a) children - who'd get "points" or "reputation credits" (or what ever metric is used) for hitting educational websites vs. RPGs, shoot-em-ups, or the latest pop-stars blog, b) for monitoring parolees or people on probation - encouraging them to spend their time constructively and productively (assuming the nature of their charge didn't forbid computer/internet use as a condition of their probation), or c) as a KPI for employees - showing that they hit x-percent of web pages that apply to their respective field so they can stay informed, up to date, etc.
I'd be curious to read a follow up article on how Spigit and Cisco will prevent people from gaming this system by just loading the URLs to some appropriate pages in their web browser one by one, but not reading a single thing.
Interesting concept though.

PS - If Spigit/Cisco commercialize any of these ideas I'll only ask for a 5% cut, or at the very least an all expense paid trip to the Bay Area for a nice recognition ceremony.
