As a Product Marketing Manager, I have the opportunity to work with many different Product Managers at once. This means I get exposure to a wide range of new features – typically from conception to full release. This past quarter, one feature in particular caught my attention: New User Badges. There is an interesting story behind this feature, so I sat down with Product Manager Christina Lucey to talk through the development and process behind this feature. Michelle Tandler: So Christina, what is a New User badge? Christina Lucey: A New User Badge is an overlay across the bottom of a new user’s profile picture.

Using Twitter in a face-to-face Workshop

I’ve just been reading yet another article that expresses the view that Twitter is a trivial, inconsequential tool and has no place in learning, so I thought I’d write this posting on my experiences of using Twitter in a face-to-face Workshop.

The purpose of the event was to look at how social media can be used to support learning and performance within an organisational context.
