Bzzzzz....

I haven't mentioned this before but I am a bzzagent.  If you don't know what that is click here because it's great to be a bzzagent.   Basically, how it works is you get to try different products and services (most for free but for some there is a fee) and then you "bzzz" about them on your facebook page,  you tweet about them, you blog, you talk to friends and family, etc.  You don't have to like the product. In fact, BzzAgent encourages all of it's agents to be completely honest and provide candid feedback. 

The campaign that I am doing now is called Smarterer.  Smarterer is platform created to test people on literally any digital, social, and technical skill one can think of.  Simply put, it's a series of tests that you can take on line.   You can see how savy you are with facebook, Twitter, BzzAgent, Microsoft Office...just to name a few.   I have taken a few of the tests: BzzAgent, Facebook, Excel...I considered myself pretty smart in all three of these areas...but these tests weren't so easy.  Stressful is actually the word I would use.  There is a timer at the top of the screen that seriously stresses me out.   Sometimes, I would know the answer...but I would see that I was running out of time so I would just skim the the answer choices for something that looked familiar so that I could answer before the time ran out.  Come to think of it, I have no idea of what even happens if the time were to run out.  The problem is, is that many times the answers are sometimes a few sentences long, which really doesn't sound like it should be a problem but in the heat of the moment it totally is.  Also, I am a super competitve person so getting questions wrong is completely unacceptable...which I did over and over again.  Luckily, Smarterer repeats a lot of the questions that you got wrong so the more questions you answer, the more you learn.  This fun fact, is my favorite part!  I actually became smarterer in the areas that I tested myself on...and ended up scoring pretty high!  All in all, I recommend giving Smarterer a try...it's stressful but addictive and fun all at once!  And it's all in the name of learning some random but useful information.  Who could ask for more?
