Complete Gamification Framework | via @yukaichou | Must Play | Scoop.it
Gamification Expert Yu-kai Chou explains his elegent Gamification Framework that breaks Human-Focused Design into 8 Core Drives within an Octagon.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

I like this "framework" to create gamification particularly Chou's 8 Core Drives:

1) Epic Meaning and Calling

2) Development and Accomplishment

3) Expression of Creativity and Feedback

4) Ownership and Possession

5) Social Pressure and Envy

6) Scarcity and Impatience

7) Curiosity and Unpredictability

8) Loss and Avoidance

GREAT post on the HOW TOs of #gamification.  


Cool and helpful work from one of gamification's pioneers

Great article from Tech Crunch on the mechanics of creating a successful game.
