Hi Verena. It is a great post and response to my piece. I think it’s inspiring me to think a bit more deeply about my first post. I’ll come back with more later.

But…I agree that there is a challenge in development of a badging initiative. Once you develop them and set them loose in the wild, they can (and do in my experience) take on a life of their own. In these situations it’s important (IMHO) to remain flexible, reflect, iterate, and adapt.
