Jessica at Zune Insider is soliciting feedback on the Award system. I don't even know if I have any badges. You know why? Cause I don't need no stinking badges, but you might. Take a moment to answer the poll to help Jessica out.
As I look to expand the system, I’m considering a number of things.
Should there be a maximum number of available badges? Or should we create badges as ideas occur to us, constantly expanding the ecosystem?
Should there be other rewards that go along with badges? Maybe we could get an artist to provide a special download to everyone who has earned a Gold Power Listener badge for that artist. Would that be cool?
Are we going to try to change users’ behavior, or just reflect it? If we try to change it, in what ways are appropriate to maintain a healthy community, and will users try to game the system to get a badge or reward?
Thanks. Head over to Zune Insider too.

I gave em a C.. I don’t understand them, and I’m getting duplicates. I believe I have been awarded the same award at least 5 or so times for “top listener of the autobiography”
They have a game called “Lips” that was announced at E3 for this winter. The game can work with the Zune and you can sing any song you have on it with the game. AWESOME!
I guess they are working fine, we should get some kind of reward from ms, maybe a free track for every 200 plays from that artist, or exclusive access to unreleased or remixes b4 everone else does, that would be a great marketing tool for them. …or just give us cash.
…i’m almsot at 20,000 plays W00t!!
These badges are working pretty darn well, A-, due to a few bugs and glitches.. like awarded the same thing multiple times.
