On Hot Potato Awards
By vanessageneOne of the new features that we are really excited about here at HQ is Hot Potato awards. We have only mentioned the awards briefly since launching our new release because we wanted to let you play around and discover them yourself. So now we would like to take a minute to explain more about the awards.
When we were building this latest version, we knew we wanted to reward you and make you feel awesome for using Hot Potato in creative ways. These awards, which live on your profile, give others a nice little window to your interests and deem you a sort of expert in certain areas. Here’s a few of the awards, along with how to get them:
• Couch Potato – share what you’re watching on TV
• Shutter Spud – upload photos to an activity’s conversation stream
• Foodie – share what you’re eating
• Loveable – post comments, photos and videos that the community “likes”
• Bookworm – share what books you’re reading
And, of course, the You’re a Big Deal award, which you received when you shared your first activity on Hot Potato (go you!). There are other awards out there, and more to come in the future. We’re not always going to tell you how to get them; we think it’s more fun when there’s an element of surprise.
To congratulate some of our power users — and to inspire a little friendly competition among the HP community — we’re going to reveal our top three achievers, along with a snapshot of their awards so far.
Damien Basile, with nine awards:
Chris Carella, with seven awards:
Aubrey Sabala, with seven awards:
Congrats to Damien, Chris and Aubrey!
