Just got a badge, now what ?
🏅Just got a Top Voice badge. Let’s unpack the ego boost … and Microsoft strategy👇
1️⃣ superficial ego boost
I know it’s just a digital pat on the back. A gamification tactic to get people hooked. But still … social media has a way of getting under our skin. I am working on it, but the likes, comments and badge thing is a tempting game 📈
2️⃣ a tough game
It’s a little badge … but kind of big work 💪 Consistent posting on those « collaborative articles ». Trying to craft a crisp message, bringing value in a matter of seconds. ⏰ It's not just a click of a button.
3️⃣ a fantastic play by Microsoft
While we're playing the game, #LinkedIn (aka Microsoft) is playing chess. 🎓
Every collaborative article people create is another data point. Great writing, a treasure trove of Q&A data, annotated with likes by humans.
And we're the willing contributors. Congrats guys for this idea 💡
And thanks for the badge.
