Am curious what the main websites/services are that issue user badges on some semblance of meritocracy?
StackOverflow.com is one obvious one where the awards have some weight (at least with some developers), but where else?

- generalk 17y agoThat's an interesting question, but I'm not necessarily concerned with that. For instance, a foursquare-like service would offer badges based not on merit but on how many times you've visited a certain location or how many checkins you perform in a night. That service could use our badges API to award these badges, and not have to write/maintain that portion themselves.
- Saavedro 17y agoEven those have some merit weight. Many visits to a certain location will imply that said person is a "regular" there, for example.
