Applying game design to web apps

August 20th, 2007

Somehow I forgot to blog this when it first appeared, and when I dug through my email, I found I had even missed an email from the author letting me know it went up!

The Startup Game: Using game design to build the next Digg or Flickr is a good article on Amy Jo Kim’s five key ways to apply game stuff to the web:

  • Collecting
  • Points
  • Feedback
  • Exchanges
  • Customization

Worth checking out!

    Son, you’re currently wearing assless chaps in a high security prison. Raph, could you remove his email address? Before somebody bad does him a mischief?
