badge aggregator 2
a new site where a 'badge' or goal could be defined by the user with
a name
a logo/icon
criteria for achievement
the aggregation site would read activitystreams from users and determine if the actions in that stream qualify them for any of the defined badges. the participating sites would need to provide an activitystream for each user. the aggregation site would provide a reputation document or list of earned badges.
a site could make use of badges earned from other sites, or look at more general badges that the aggregation site itself defines.

As I've probably said before. Yes. Quite yes. I want to work on this. -

I agree. Excellent idea. Don't know what the monetization would be (assuming there would be one) but either way I wouldn't mind throwing in some code. Oh, and you can have Joupla if you want. Sort of a stupid word, but it was one of few short domains left that sounded even remotely fun. It's not at all "badge" related, but Gowalla? WTF is that? We've got a built-in testing dataset with Tweetscore, too. Again, an invitation, not a suggestion. It's a really good idea.
