I was one of the early crowd who pointed out how digg distorts the field
even when it isn't gamed; those who get attention are given attention
which brings attention which justifies more attention. You know what I
mean.

Just curious, Chris, you write "DIY just as the web should be" but ... no transparency? I mean, you more than anyone else knows the power of such social gestures / trops ... but who's doing the selecting?

Hey Chris, these look great, but I have one question about the code that you have posted for people to copy & paste. Why did you choose to have them link to ChrisBrogan.com as opposed to linking directly to http://www.chrisbrogan.com/... ? Even though you're a very popular blogger, I would guess that the varied audiences of the blogs who add this badge might not all know what a Chris Brogan Rockstar even is and even though it's just one click away they might not even make it to your actual Rockstars page.

From both your standpoint and all of the bloggers out there who are on your list I'm thinking that it would be more beneficial to take them there with no detours, but maybe you have some better insight on why you're taking them to just your homepage. Just something I noticed, no big deal either way, but I was just curious to hear why you made the decision.

An idea for you: I love the "Wear Your Rockstar Status With Pride" badges - super awesome!

Idea: get those designs onto Zazzle.com or Cafepress and enable people to get these and shirts and proudly wear their Rockstar status.

I'm imagining all the Rockstars who would wear shirts like that at conferences. Would be really fun and extend your brand further at conferences.

In the example with Zazzle which I'm most familiar with since they have been one of my clients, they make it easy: it's quick to set up and they handle all payments and fulfillment; you don't even have to get inventory, people can buy whatever quantity they want and Zazzle handles the rest.

Another idea: like the fabulous Jose Castillo does with his "Think Jose" shirts, these can also make for nice leave behind gifts that you hand out now and then.

Any way, if you set that up, I'd get one of these on a shirt, and wear my Rockstar status with great pride at conferences!

Rock on!

This is a pretty cool idea and a great way to rally the troops to form their own community around themselves/you. Great Job.

Retweeted this for you Chris,
Love this! I'd be into some color variety. Any artist/photoshop monkey out there? Be cool if there was one with a rocket ship. :)

Thanks for including mine, Chris! I feel honored! :-)

To make it easier for folks who may not be able to use flash widgets on their sites, I'll be posting straight jpgs that link to your site as well.

Great idea. Can you explain your communications strategy? Is this part of a shift from Chris Brogan the destination to Chris Brogan the network? How does relationship equity fit into this consideration? Or is this a test?

And the best design goes to...Eric Rasmussen from CoffeeHouse Ideas!
I think this design is really cool and stands out more than the others.
We have also come up with some pretty cool design and logo for shapeourbrand.com. So, feel free to check it out and let me know what you think.

Thanks,

This weirds me out. Aside from that, shouldn't rockstar status be *elected* rather than *appointed*?
