A mix of humor and thoughts on the site layout: I harbored a tiny hope that this website would give me a progress bar for reading through it and that I could earn achievements for becoming knowledgeable in different areas of gamification. In addition, when I read about the collaboration, I thought it would be neat to earn collaboration points as an encouragement to share ideas and maybe get some badges that represent my gamification expertise. I came away slightly disappointed and not surprised; gamification requires a bit of thinking about what behaviors you want to encourage from your audience. Because I do not see how this site can benefit me, I do not feel encouraged to play, er, contribute. It would be great if the site about gamification used gamification, stood forth as an alluring example. Nice start, though. Humor aside, I genuinely am interested in looking through some of the material and seeing what I can learn.
