I got to try Smarterer out for free with bzz agent. Smarterer is a way for you to rank yourself against friends, family, or anyone on how well you know different topics. The topics include bzz agent, different web browsers, games, blogging tools, social media, and even how much of a baller you are. It's a fun way to compete against others and see how you stack up!
