"I hate gamification. Gamification is to play what crowdsourcing is to open source. How can we take..."

“I hate gamification. Gamification is to play what crowdsourcing is to open source. How can we take this natural, cultural drive toward connection, meaning, purpose, and participation and incorporate it into the economic-growth requirement of corporate capitalism? Foursquare is the easiest example, but everybody’s doing it. I’m sure there are folks at Merrill Lynch gamifying their stock portfolios.”

- Douglas Rushkoff, interviewed by Samatha Hinds in The New Inquiry, 3 (via stoweboyd)

Wasting Time on Klout and Influence Metrics

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 13:16:07 -0400

It’s been an interesting week with all the news and ensuing hub bub about Klout’s new formula. Beyond the curiosity of the moment there’s not much to talk about, though. See, people that waste their time on Klout, determining influence on it, debating its merits, etc., are wasting time. Enough has been said about Klout, high scores and their d ..read more..

"I Finally Cracked It."

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 18:50:19 -0400

"I Finally Cracked It.":

parislemon:

That’s what Steve Jobs revealed to Walter Isaacson in an interview for his forthcoming biography.

What was he talking about? The often rumored (and just as often dismissed) Apple television. Not the Apple TV, the current product, a full fledged television.

Six months ago, I laid out why I thought an Apple television was actually coming despite (and perhaps because of) the current conventional wisdom that it’s a low-margin business that Apple won’t bother with. My original thesis holds: the current television experience is shit from a user perspective. It’s popular despite being severely hamstrung by the powers that be (mainly the cable companies).

If Apple can do to this market what they did to the phone market — they sky is very much the limit. The convergence of computing and the living room will finally be realized.

Jobs’ quote above is key. He didn’t just reveal that Apple was working on the Apple television, but that he “cracked it”. That’s very exciting. It reminds me of Alan Bradley’s quote from Tron: Legacy. Talking about the missing Kevin Flynn:

Sam, two nights before he disappeared, he came to my house. “I’ve cracked it!” He kept saying.
