Do You Ever View the Power Point Award Feed?
Just curious about how many of you ever browse the Power Point Award Feed. I was thinking it would be great to add another page under the Users tab that just lists all the available badges and the top earners for each badge so you know where you are in the standings and to highlight the top achievers. Then I realized we also have the Power Point Feed and wondered if anyone ever views it.
So, do you view it or even know it's there? And side discussion: what do you think of adding the Top Badge Earners page I described?

A page for the badges and top earners would be neat.
But the powerpoint page, well... it's of very little interest basically. Why would I want to know when a user got a power point? There is ultimately no reason for knowing that.

I agree completely. (I voted "been there once--won't again").
Regularly. It's a quick way to see if anyone has reached a milestone recently and congrats might be in order.
I do a search of siftbot's comments. It is easier to use because the badges have visuals.
Then again, it is slower to use because one has to scroll through more physical space.
I'll stick with my method.

If you are in the mood for programming, can I remind you of this request, made early in my Sifting days? This happened to me again recently and I got peeved all over again.

Proposal: That the recharge period only begin once the account has been drawn down to zero, and that at the end of that time, you get your recharge power points regardless of whether you have reached max power points or not. (Via buying points or earning them)
I do it once in a while to see if someone's gone a "level up", but otherwise nah.
Every now and again I stumble upon it in the menu and I check it out. Most of the time I have forgotten its existence.
I only look at mine through e-mail notifications.
Why not just add the badge and rank info to the existing award page?
I don't really check the power point feed. Most of it seems to be just people fixing dead pool. I do check Siftbot's 'Weekly Achievement Blog' whenever Sifty decides to post one (thanks for doing it for a few weeks in a row now! It was awol for a while.. )
I'd love to have a Top Badge Earners page, since the levels on those aren't even searchable (or maybe my skills are just lacking..).
Thanks
I don't even pay attention to how many power points I have, let alone the award feed...
Perhaps you could merge the weekly highlights with the awards stats. Instead of having multiple redundant, 'so and so fixed a video' comments, you could have, 'so and so fixed (5) videos.'
Voting for this poll ended with the majority of users voting What the heck are you talking about?.
For a second I thought there would be a slideshow of awards, but that's a different Powerpoint.
