Gamification: a grab bag of tactics
Let's face it, most people don't have a strategy to 'gamify' their marketing. They just want some cool tactics to slam onto their Facebook page. So here they are. (Thank you to the Houston Social Media Breakfast, which I do not attend, but they keep up with these things and share them with us. So…

New stories for old objects
People crave simplicity and stability, but the world doesn't cooperate. Our stories try to pin things down for us, but we have to eye them critically. New meanings are being made every day.
