February 8, 2012 Blog news in Queens,New York, United States of America
In an effort to spur community involvement to its more than 1000 members, SurviveUnemployment! has added features to make the user experience more game-like.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Queens,
New York,
United States of America
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 8, 2012 --
One of the first "unemployment blogs" has added new functionality to encourage users to participate. SurviveUnemployment! began as a tool for one man to survive unemployment. He has done that, and others have taken notice. Now he wants them to join in and has tried to make the experience more fun by adding a game-like aspect to the site.
Users earn points for participating -- for logging in, commenting, making blog posts, and so on. As they earn points, they earn new roles on the site, with escalated site privileges at each level. For example, an ordinary member can't see how many times their blog post was viewed, but a "Treasured Contributor" can. Oh -- and the Treasured Contributor also gets a cool badge to show off their status to other members, along with other perks.
This is not about simple time-wasting games, however. The idea is to build a supportive community for those still out of work, a community in which they can lament, network, find others whose skills may complement their own, begin enterprises, and find jobs. The point and reward system is just an end to this greater goal, to make it more interesting for people to help themselves and others.
For more information, submit a contact request through the site.
