Who/what is Smarterer?
Check out http://smarterer.com for fun and sometimes challenging tests to see if you really know as much about digital and technical skills. This is one of my BzzAgent campaigns so we get an additional category of BzzAgent knowledge questions in addition. Some info from their site...
About Smarterer
We created Smarterer to provide people a simple, fun, and authentic way to show what they know. Smarterer is a platform designed to score individuals on any and every digital, social, and technical skill under the sun. Using crowdsourced test design and a scoring mechanism similar to the one developed to rank chess masters, in just 10 questions and 60 seconds we can give you a valid score.
Why Smarterer?
People are rapidly accumulating a new set of digital and technical skills that make them valuable and effective in today's workforce, yet no one is measuring or validating these skills. As consumers we need an easy way to enhance our reputation collateral. As employers, we hire based on work history and personality metrics, but are missing the key criteria that prove people's ability to use the tools needed to be successful.
Crowdsourced Questions
The sum of all the brains at Smarterer can't hold a candle to the collective intelligence the crowd. Given the speed of change, we believe that a static test can't provide an accurate measure of your skill. We collect questions from our user community, which allows us to provide rapidly-evolving tests that get smarter every day.
Powerful, Flexible, and Really Cool Scoring Mechanism
Smarterer's scoring algorithm is based on the Glicko rating system, which is used for chess, NCAA trees, and a variety of gaming platforms. Our adaptation creates a real-time competition between each question and each test-taker. Our algorithm is continuously learning from user interactions and getting smarter about how to rank each question and each user. We think it's cool, and when we showed it to Mark Glickman, the creator of the Glicko score, he thought so too. He's now an advisor, which is also pretty cool.
As of now, I am "Proficient" in Facebook with a score of 516 and 'Familiar' in BzzAgent with a score of 305. Guess I need to work on those to become master of them!
Have fun!

Hill's Science Diet Ideal Balance Bzz Campaign
Okay, so I have not been blogging like I thought. Go figure. I will try this again. Seems that I can get better since I am already terrible and there is no where to go except up!
This time I am talking about BzzAgent. I love being a BzzAgent and being able to try new products or items that I have not heard of before. I have been doing this for a long time. Today I was approved for Hill's Science Diet Ideal Balance dog food. My dogs will pretty much eat anything but I can definitely tell when they prefer one food over another. I am hoping that this food is one they will like because it is not overly expensive like others I have tried. They are good little doggies and deserve to have a good treat that they will enjoy. I have placed my order and will update after we try it out and I can give feedback, good or bad. Until then, love on your doggies if you have any. If you don't have any, go adopt one, they are great to have around!
