Badges everywhere

 

I guess I have to read the books again because I don't remember Dumbledore saying this😂


As my good friend Dumbledore says above badges are truly everywhere. This week as I was doing my research for my community norms paper, I realized that Facebook also uses badges. It gives you badges if you post many times in a week, if you are a superfan of the page or group. I never noticed this because I don’t normally post things in groups, but for the purpose of the project I decided to post and ask more questions and that’s when the badges started to appear. Even though Facebook uses badges only as a motivational trick, it still gives you a boost of endorphins that the Facebook algorithm recognizes your participation.

Did anyone else noticed that?

PS: I made the changes of the picture myself 😀

  1. I didn't notice badges on Facebook so far! It seems like you're recognizing some dynamics/elements there!

    I LOVED the picture, of course! You're making me laugh soooo bad!

    1. Yes I didn't noticed it either until I saw little icons next to my name and turns out there are badges.

  2. I noticed that on Facebook as well and was really surprised. There are also badges on LinkedIn. Me, the anti-badger, noticed them 😎 https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/4-things-you-should-know-badges-online-learning-james-johnson/
