Crowdfunding & Gamification: What's Next

Crowdfunding & Gamification: What's Next | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

When the lit match of gamificaiton hits the exposed jet fuel of crowdfunding both will feed speed, scale and intelligence into the other. I've read the Forrester report that predicts 80% gamification failure by 2015 and have two thoughts. 

1. 80% failure is about the normal Internet marketing "hit" rate.

2. That means 20% are going to win BIG, very big.

The combination of gamification and crowdfunding is more likely than not to be in that 20% winner category.

Agree, before creatign gamification know these 4 "Gamer Types" is key:

* Achievers.
* Explorers.

* Socializers.
* Killers. 


Now in additio to "visitor personas" we need "gamification personas".

SEO, LinkedIn and The Real You - How LinkedIn Is Crowdsourcing YOU | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

When my brilliant Quant friend Melinda Thielbar explained how Linkdedin is using gamification to clean their data I was stunned. Stunned at the sheer genius and power of LinkedIn's little endorsement game.

 

Today I confronted the two Martins. The Martin I THINK I am and the Martin who IS. Fascinating conversation and all from a little game. Brilliant.

Great Malek Scoop and Nick Simonton comment. This is a favorite topic. Nick I was scheduled to attend McKee's Story seminar last year and then got sick and could go, but still on my bucket list to attend. Marty

Thank You Economy or Arrogance, Which Is Better?

Thank You Economy or Arrogance, Which Is Better? | Latest Social Media News | Scoop.it

Arrogance seems a consistent tactic in the uber-hot gamification segment. "Uber-hot" and arrogance seem to go together like hand in glove, but perhaps arrogance is a the most sustainable strategy.

 

Arrogance feels cheaper than the Thank You economy's endless give. This piece explores the question of if arrogance is sustainable. What do you think? Where do you come out on the Arrogance or Thank You debate.
