Google Maps Is Now Giving Out Profile Badges To The Most Helpful Community Members

One of the really interesting things about Google Maps is that there's a huge, thriving community of people who love to help make the product better. Basically, when a road closes, or something is incorrect, there are tools via Map Maker that let them report it. It involves the community in ways that serve both sides of the fence. Today, the Google Maps team has announce a bit of a "reward" system for those who help out a lot. It wants to reward accomplishments that are met by members of the community and I happen to think that it's a great program. It's kind of live giving cash rewards out to hackers who find holes in its products.
