⭐️  The social networks don’t serve your career. The MoTaverse does. 🌶️ image

Community stars recognition is expanding. It now goes two ways. Don't sleep on this!

We're expanding our community algorithm, and now it means as part of our belief that we all learn in community, that we can learn and progress through all forms of content (not just certs or courses).

All content matters.

All content can lead to inspiration.

Anything can lead you towards the right path.

What does this mean? We now have 'Thanks :star:️' button on more content pieces.

When you click it, the creator(s) earn a star. It's your way of saying you read it, learned or appreciated it. The creators can then see that their work matters whilst also being able to directly connect with you.

What's more. You also earn a star when you thank someone. Why, you might ask? It's because it's part of your learning journey. It's a way of seeing that you are growing, participating and learning. We believe every day interactions and learning matters, now it is visible.

For those on a Team Account, it's handy to view, track and support your team with what they are learning. You can follow your team, and see their activity to follow along with them. Of course, anyone can be followed if you want to get a taste of what your MoTaverse friends are up to.

Not to forget. There's confetti for extra joy. :tada:

Go give it a test run? We'd love your feedback, and it probably has bugs! :surprised-bug:

A big thanks to Simon Tomes and Andrew Morton for making it happen!

Fell into testing after getting a temporary job doing UAT and discovered he was actually good at it. Moved into development after deciding that the best way to build quality in was to do it.

I've been working in the software testing and quality engineering space since the year 2000 whilst also combining it with my love for education and community. It turns out quality, community and education go nicely hand in hand.
