I'm not sure there's anything that has been developed for social networks, however you can show them with CSS on your website:

Also there's a WordPress plugin:

Thanks

Thanks Guys, Yet I do not think this would work in LinkedIn or Facebook :-) Shame because other e-learning platforms has a nice integration such as "lynda" and I wanted to show also treehouse's badges because I love them! <b>So treehouse guys please consider it also because it is a free advertisement for you once we can post our badges in the social media/networks!!!</b>

Yeah, I'm going to second this - it would be nice to have courses I complete post onto my linkedin profile similar to what lynda offers. (Not individual badges, but that's my preference).

Going to add my +1 to this, I would love to be able to display the highlight of my profile on LinkedIn, points. top 10 badges etc.

Any progress on this subject. I actually thought I read in the intro that we'd be able to show badges. So we can get better jobs with progress?
