http://www.ted.com By now, we're used to letting Facebook and Twitter capture our social lives on the web -- building a "social layer" on top of the real world. At TEDxBoston, Seth Priebatsch looks at the next layer in progress: the "game layer," a pervasive net of behavior-steering game dynamics that will reshape education and commerce.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate.

What he said about Digg that the leaderboard got to the point where the top 7 helped each other out even at the expense of good news just so they can keep their positions is the way out system works today. These top corporations and politicians will group up and help each other even at the expense of the people so that they can stay at the top no mater what. What do you guys think?

I say I'm glad to see intelligence in politics spreading =)
You sound anti-statist, or pro-free market, and I say this in a positive way.

Turning life into a game is quite depressing to me. I'm excited by the work ahead of me. This is certainly a personal opinion, but on the broader level I stand by my original comment. If, on a personal level, other people cope and adapt to life by making it into a game, good for them. It just doesn't seem to be a good idea for a TEDtalk or a massive presentation, in fact it seems to be ass-backwards.

you missed the point. everything is rewards-based. "triumph" and "feels fantastic" is a reward. the "game layer" is about harnessing whatever it is that motivates people. in a game there is a constant reward, wether intrinsic or material. and you're supposed to apply that to your trainings or work environment.

I'm not a conspiracy nut, but i dont trust my government enough to even like them thinking about this. There are other social and "political" problems that need to desperately be taken care of before we start having "fun".
This type of enviornment does not encourage the quest of life, the gain of true, factual knowledge, wisdom or awareness; it addicts people to reward response and makes them *want* to deny their humanity. (What ever that is.)
At least the psychic worms of rigel 9 love us. <3

His system is reward-based, which does not work because people get bored and spoiled on rewards. We should be motivating people to take part in what really interests them, and show them how other topics are also interesting. Further more, it seems like he is creating a facade, putting a cover of a "game" over hard work so the masses of game addicts will want to go through with this. Nothing worth having ever comes easy, and triumph only feels fantastic if you worked damn hard for it.
