If we're trying to come up with something that is equivalent to points or 
credits or gold/geld that doesn't sound like a currency, isn't twee, and has 
some faint relevance to the name of the service, how about "measures"? I'd say 
"scribbles," but that probably veers too far into the realm of cute.

To avoid having to fling a bunch of neutral measurement terms back and forth, 
here are some tables:

And things we probably want to avoid using...
