Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Beauty Is Cost of Content Marketing Poker

If your images don't ARREST anyone reads your stuff or plays your game. The new Howler magazine is showing the power of digital imagery. Arresting graphics get what every content marketer wants - engagement.

Make sure the writing is as good as the arresting visuals include a Call To Action (subscribe, comment, review, share, Like) and your content marketing will be good to go.

Gamification White Paper from Atlantic BT with tips on how to use games and gamification to achieve Internet marketing objectives.

Everest on "gamification" and knowing that engagement was one of the secret implications of Google's Panda algorithm changes AND loving games and gamification as a way to increase engagement I wrote Gamification: Winning Hearts, Minds and Loyalty Online a year ago.

Curation Find of the Day
Wednesday is only moments old. But I've paid for lunch already. This excellent Business 2 Community post discusses how social and video games are sliding toward one another.
