This is an idea put forward by Jane McGonigal, a designer at the Institute for the Future, during her talk at TED in February. While it may seem like a bizarre idea, much of what she said got me thinking that there maybe something to it, as did looking at her online games that have been designed to harness the power of the game playing public for good. news, podcast Alex and Darren yes no http://dofuss.net/2010/03/27/dofuss-links-march/ http://dofuss.net/2010/03/27/dofuss-links-march/#comments Sat, 27 Mar 2010 07:47:33 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=2123 http://dofuss.net/2010/03/27/dofuss-links-march/feed/ 2 http://dofuss.net/2010/01/27/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-sleepy-improv-edition/ http://dofuss.net/2010/01/27/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-sleepy-improv-edition/#comments Wed, 27 Jan 2010 14:45:10 +0000 Alex Beech http://dofuss.net/?p=2015 http://dofuss.net/2010/01/27/the-dofuss-show-%e2%80%93-sleepy-improv-edition/feed/ 2 0:00:01 I have to listen to every show through again while I edit.

My conclusion is that I am failing in my roll as a host. Not that this is necessarily bad, but next time (whoever is with me) I am wrestling back some control and giving this show some consistence. Maybe. This episode underwent a number of late changes. Our special guest (Blokey from the UUDD forums) was unfortunately unable to make it at the last moment, so will be joining us next time. Darren was also unavailable so it fell to Dan to pick up the mantel of the second spot. DAMN YOU BLOKEY! We touch on numerous topics, courtesy of Dan’s impeccable planning. It was fortunate his outline was so thorough too, otherwise there wouldn’t have been a show because the plan was to revolve everything around forums and Blokey… YOU HEAR THAT BLOKEY. Ahem… I am sure he will be able make it next time along with Darren, so keep an eye on the site for that. Enjoy the show. news, podcast Alex and Darren yes no
