I got a blue popup asking me to post the question to FB or tweet it to earn a badge. I did, but nothing happened. What is it: a bug, a feature, or a missing carrot?

I'm not sure what the current wording of the popup is (I'm not getting presented with these anymore), but anyhow: you don't get Publicist just for posting a link. You only get the badge if the link is actually clicked on by people from 1000 unique IP addresses within 5 days and only if you've already got the Announcer and the Booster badge.

Aha. so the carrot is worded wrongly. It should suggest Announcer and not Publicist. Feb 10, 2011 at 12:34
