Interaction action through social gaming
By Linda King, G2G3
Today I was invited onto Spymaster - a social game based around Twitter. Each player becomes a master of a spy ring based upon their Twitter followers list. The more people that follow you and are playing characters in Spymaster, the more powerful you will be. We've had a bit of fun in the office this morning attempting to assassinate the G2G3 MD!! (with some success I'd like to add!)
Social gaming is an interesting concept - and it's potentially something that can be leveraged within business. The more powerful Twitter becomes as a business tool, the more likely it will be to be leveraged in situations such as these. For example, is it possible to create an ITSM social game? A game which crosses boundaries of organizations, this could be something quite powerful. However, I'm sure this would also have its challenges.
At G2G3 we're exploring all these options and trying to push the boundaries of learning. The future of our interactions is changing and we need to move with the times. And if we get to assassinate the MD along the way, then that just adds to the fun of our research!
