Give your members badges to display, but only ones with real meaning.
You wear a badge for pride. You want others to know your associations. You want to recognise people that have the same associations.
On the internet people can display a badge on their blog, social networking profiles, forum/e-mail signatures and on almost any customisable digital site you can imagine. These are powerful promotional tools.
Nobody displays a badge anybody can have.
Personalise every badge. It takes a minute to edit a member’s name to a photoshop layer. A badge should have the member’s name on.
Finally, create more reasons for people issue badges with meaning. What if you were Dell’s Digital Nomad of the month? Or you were one part of a select group of Dell Digital Nomad Experts?



What a great idea. This would work for those bloggers I've put on my Gen X blog roll.

Perhaps we should also limit the number of badges we release to make them even more desirable?

Putting ads on blogs like the Adage Power150 badges? Technorati badges? That's a good idea. :)

You could number them as you hand them out. Thus, the lower numbers may be more desirable.
