Hey, I got a red star badge!

What are the possible badges?

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:07AM

i'm thinking platinum with a modest single caret in the middle of a star..

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:07AM

like in Blazing Saddles...

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:09AM

contacts you -- plurkpix is a community site

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:09AM

( www.plurkpix.com )

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:11AM

under the plurk banner? is it affiliated?

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:10AM

sorry, i'm thinking marketing instead of tech

great idea

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:18AM

thinks

every user here is making the " plurk community" grow, be it via their blog or the use if other social sites or just speaking about it....

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:18AM

so everybody needs a badge

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:18AM

if you discriminate..... You loose users.... Do u really want that to happen ?

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:24AM

pshaws, Rohan, that's like saying "Everyone exercises, so why should we reward an olypmpic athlete as exceptional."

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:24AM

Some people put more than the usual amount of effort, and it's a good thing to recognize the efforts.

thinks

point, martinbogo

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:34AM

i suppose so. but i don't do what i do to be recognized. i do it because it helps everyone (myself included) and ultimately society itself

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:36AM

it's a win/win situation. and the history books will be my badge.

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:36AM

ok, a little much?

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:41AM

yeah.

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:43AM

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:48AM

I do what I do, badge or no badge... Setting up a " community" site for plurk is easy... But the tracktion it brings is way more important

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:50AM

so rewarding. "few" select ain't fair... And cmon now... Gimme a iPhone app... Not a web mobile app... And that's a champion

says

it takes less than a day to setup an rss aggregator of sorts... Does that qualify ?

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:52AM

I don't intend to discourage folks from building apps...... But

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:52AM

man, and i get shut down for less...

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:52AM

the amount of folks I have tried to convince that plurks netter than the rest is quite substantial...

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:54AM

did I do it for a badge " no", do I want a badge "no"...

Aug 04, 2008 - 12:55AM

asks

so.. Does that mean I do less for plurk than someone else ?

Aug 04, 2008 - 01:03AM

says

wow, is it really that big of a deal?

Aug 04, 2008 - 01:06AM

apparently so...

Aug 04, 2008 - 01:08AM

yeah, apparently...

i have reservations about sites that have special rewards for "special" users. Every user promotes this site...why are some more special?

found that RohanPinto will often take a contrarian, and controversial view on things.

Aug 04, 2008 - 01:30AM

respects, but utterly disagrees with Rohan's logic -and- position on this.

Aug 04, 2008 - 01:31AM

The badges aren't a reason to do something, but they are a "thank you"

Aug 04, 2008 - 01:30AM

Which in general polite society are accepted with a "thank you, very much appreciated" rather than spit, ire, and acid.

Aug 04, 2008 - 01:32AM

(Pardon the hijacking of this plurk Amix .. shall we move it to a new one?)

Aug 04, 2008 - 01:32AM

(mind you, declining is just as simple .. "Thank you, but I can't accept.")

Aug 04, 2008 - 01:43AM

Teeg	isn't sure it qualifies since my blog isn't solely devoted to Plurk, but I have the 10 Minute Guide To Plurk and calendars

Aug 04, 2008 - 01:49AM

what do we have to do to qualify?

i think womenofplurk is going to be the bomb. better than a community- we take it to the streets...

Aug 04, 2008 - 02:58AM

and get *really* noticed...

does this qualify? plurkk.com

if there will be a way to filter the interesting plurkers page to view pleeps w/ badges and such?

Aug 04, 2008 - 10:56AM

wonders

if the A-Team values honesty or only wants to recognize schmoozers?

Aug 04, 2008 - 11:00AM

says

we will in the future have all sorts of badges that recognize people that help plurk and the plurk community - this is just one of the first

amix: I like the badge idea. I've noticed the invitation badge although deniz invited 6 but has the badge anyway.

you guys probably testing right?

hehe nice catch, mojaam. we gave deniz that star very early on to test the star system. maybe it's time to ask for it back!

Aug 04, 2008 - 06:52PM

its nice to see that we all disagree and agree with each other on plurk and still be "friends".. what a wonderful world

I agree, rohanpinto

I just launched a blog about Plurk and the site will be launched soon - what do you think? blog.plurkr.net is the blog [for now]

amix, our plurkshops.com site is listed as one of the unofficial blogs, but several of us maintain it. Could the badge be put on our blog?

Thank you so much, amix. We enjoy using Plurk to have in-depth discussions like the plurkshops.

I love this idea. It shows that the A-Team is more involved than just running the site. They're also out there supporting users.

if amix & The A-team has checked on plurkertati.com & plurkdev.com ? mahadewa is the guy behind it, he made us Plurkmark, very useful

coz I haven't seen any badges on his profile & I think he deserve one.

Aug 08, 2008 - 09:39AM

it's Martin who often tries to discredit peeps (Rohan in this instance) who point out Plurk shortcomings ...

Aug 08, 2008 - 09:45AM

thinks

that like karma, the badge *are* a reason to do something because they are judgmental, do rank contributions, and cause competition
