What's that? You want a snazzy badge like this attached to your comments?

To find out how to get the Vocalizer badge, head on over to the Voice Places Facebook page and give it a “like.” (Voice Places is our directory and events calendar, in case you haven't heard.) Voice Places Facebook fans will be the first to get the scoop on how to join this elite group of reviewers. Hint: Posting a review on Voice Places is the first step, so get to it!

Soon, you'll also start to see a “Top Commenter” badge next to the profiles of — you guessed it — our top commenters. If you want to be one of the first to earn a “Top Commenter” badge, you know what to do: Comment on our blog posts, and comment often. Yell at us for skipping your favorite place on our latest top-ten list, and let us know when you agree with our reviews or when you think we're so off-base that our taste buds must have fallen out of our mouths. We love it when you're opinionated.
