What is a Vouch?

A vouch is simple way to tell someone what you appreciate about them. A vouch could be for a skill, role, interest, expertise, or passion.

What does a vouch do for me?

It shows you have credibility on certain topics and gives others a snapshot of your interests and personality.

Vouches also make you discoverable for your skills and expertise whether you're looking for a job or trying to get more followers.

Vouching also organizes the people in your social networks so you can find people by skill or expertise. As people you know vouch for other people, your reputation network grows, making it easy to find trusted people from bloggers to babysitters to plumbers to polyglots.

What can I do with my vouches?

Your vouches can be displayed on your card and embedded on your blog, website, email or anywhere you want to display your reputation.

What does my vouch do for someone else?

It tells that person you value your relationship and helps them be discovered (if they want) for jobs, speaking engagements, perks, new friends, or just for fun. People you vouch for are more easily discoverable by your extended network since your network trusts you.

Can I vouch for anyone?

Yes, as long as you know the person and can truly stand behind your vouch. You have a limited number of vouches at each trust level.
