1. A computer-implemented method for handling electronic achievement information, the method comprising:
receiving, from a first user of an achievement aggregation system, a selection of a plurality of achievement tracking services, wherein at least one of the achievement tracking services is operated by an organization that is separate from an operator of the achievement aggregation system, a first achievement tracking service operates independently from at least a second achievement tracking service, and the first and second achievement tracking services are operated by separate organizations; establishing an authenticated or verified electronic communication connection between the achievement aggregation system and each of the achievement tracking services; obtaining from each of the achievement tracking services information sufficient to characterize one or more achievements obtained by the first user; obtaining data for displaying graphical icons produced by each of the achievement tracking services, each graphical icon visually representing a defined achievement for the respective achievement tracking service that may be earned by a user of the respective achievement tracking service upon performing tasks communicated to users by the respective achievement tracking service; aggregating, by the achievement aggregation system, the information obtained from each of the achievement tracking services into a user achievement profile that includes information about achievements obtained by the first user on multiple systems that include the first achievement tracking service and the second achievement tracking service; and providing the user achievement profile for presentation to one or more users who request profile information about the first user, the presentation including concurrent display of the graphical icons produced by each of the achievement tracking services for tasks performed by the one or more users.
