Will work for stickers
Our QA person found a bug that's been in a web page for I-don't-want-to-know-how-long when she tested functionality that I'd just added. When I "atta-girl"ed her on the finding, I semi-teased, "A gold sticker by your name today!" A bit later I skimmed a Harvard Business Review article that touted three sure-fire uses of social media, one of which was giving readers/subscribers widgets or badges for their own websites or profiles. Then it occurred to me that even adults covet stickers by their names; only the medium has changed. That makes me smile.
