Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Gaming For Social Good & Cure Cancer Starter

If you don't think my eyes got wide and my breath caught in my throat a little when I saw this post about how Zynga supports social good via game play you don't know me and my Cure Cancer Starter project, our crowdfunding platform for cancer research (http://www.curecancerstarter.org). . 


It may seem strange to think of making curing cancer a game, but not to me (a cancer survivor). I don't care WHAT helps as long as engagement, awareness and donations all go UP. 

Over the weekend I scooped a piece from Dan Pallotta about how we think about charity ALL WRONG. One way that is wrong is charity is often seen as boring requirement instead of exciting FUN. As an Internet marketer I would rather sell "exciting fun" any day since that SCALES. Boring requirement doesn't scale. 
 

Can Zynga help cure cancer? You bet. Am I going to be calling on Zynga to help do jus that? You bet.

Badgeville Gamification Platform In Running For Cure Cancer Starter

Badgeville Gamification Platform In Running For Cure Cancer Starter | Must Play | Scoop.it

Badgeville gamification platform. 

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Badgeville is a beautiful thing. Its interface is elegant and and its gamification powerful. It seems as if Badgeville is only interested in Fortune 1,000 clients since their "average engagement" is over $100,000. They were pretty dismissive in our conversations too, so no apparent desire to help cure cancer which is sad since curing cancer may be the ultimate game.

Power Reviews A Gamification Option For Cure Cancer Starter | Must Play | Scoop.it

PowerReviews spread their wings and gamified their very good review platform then got bought by Bazaar Voice. The company is workng through the merger and I am waiting on pricing, but Iike what I hear so far. I used PowerReviews as a DIrector of Ecommerce and was always impressed with their vision, Keep It Simple attitude and sophisticated tools.
