Fiero, Gameful, Kickstarter: Jane McGonigal

Within an hour of posting the Gameful project on Kickstarter, Jane McGonigal had already been entirely backed for the 2000$ she was asking for. I bet she and her partners had a Fiero moment. This was about 24 hours ago, and now the project has already fetched over 9000$.

What is the project itself, Gameful, which located in San Francisco?

"Q:What is Gameful?
"A: Gameful is an online Secret HQ for gamers and game developers who want to help change the world and make our real lives better. Think of it as a cross between a professional network and a creative brainstorming space. The goal is to make it easy for anyone making or playing world-changing games to find collaborators, mentors, jobs, ideas, and funding. And of course, to discover fun new games to play."
