I have been reading around NZG lately and there has been talk of an achievement system. I think it would be a great idea and would encourage the use of all features around all parts of the website. Large scale, could be the best thing that ever came to this website.

 

So I'm writing this blog as a follow up to my last one, to suggest my idea that I quite literally on just thought of in the last twenty minutes or so. Achievement on the large scale, of every where you go. Websites such as gravatar offer a globally recognized service. This makes life so much easier. Would it make it more fun to use the internet if we got points like that of NZGamer? Signing up with Bebo gets you 100, having an MSN account gets you 150 + 10 for every contact you have. 100 deviantArt uploads gets you a kickass badge...

 

I really am just brain storming at this point. I have a couple of pros and cons for me to venture into this as a business opportunity, but would like to hear your points of view. It could bomb in one instance or be the next big thing in the other.

 

PROS

• Motivates that of the internet community
• Opportunity to boost internet marketing globally
• Can milk corporations for bribes for special achievements
• Can hack and be the best at the internet

CONS

• Lots Of effort to incorporate into already exsistant applications
• Copyright problems with Mirco$oft
• Global Genocide Because I'm The Hacked Best

Please, tell me what you have to say. I may spare your life one day.
